Speaking at a rally in South Carolina on Wednesday, the president said he had called Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, to ask whether the company could “handle” his proposal.
“I only like two oceans: the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. I’m not going to put either Trump or America on any other ocean but these two. So we seriously looked at the Atlantic Ocean, and I called Google Maps, who were really great with the lake … They’re still rattled from the Gulf. I said: ‘Sundar, I’m thinking of the Atlantic Ocean,’” Trump said.
Trump referenced his previous executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, as well as his push to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America amid a trade feud between the US and Canada, for which he also signed an executive order requiring US federal agencies to use his new moniker.
According to Trump, Pichai rejected the latest proposal. Trump described the Google CEO’s response by saying, “No, no, no. This time I’m not doing it … Oceans are different, sir. They cover … a lot of countries. Please don’t ask us to do that.”
“So I’ll probably pass. Should I pass it?” Trump said, adding: “I think let’s keep it the Atlantic Ocean.”
they unfortunately assume addresses increase somewhat linearly down streets
Weird. Neither OpenStreetMap nor CoMaps does any automatic address interpolation or inference. All the data you see there was either imported from a suitably-licensed authoritative source or added by a contributor.
If you’re seeing misnumbering of addresses, it’s almost certainly human error, but it won’t be a regular thing.
They know what addresses are? I just get sent to a block.
there are a couple places where it falsely assumes an address is on one block (like assuming 150 is between 100 and 200)
