#OpenStreetMap on tarkoitettu nimensä mukaisesti ensisijaisesti asutettujen alueiden karttapalveluksi, mutta nyt kun #BoycottUSA ynnä #BoycottGoogleMaps, kävinpä katsomassa, mitä se löytää #GulfofAmerica-haulla. Löytää Meksikonlahden. Tämä hyvä. Tukekaa. Vaihtakaa amerikkalaiset palvelut mieluusti eurooppalaisiin tai vähintään avoimiin.

True story:
Having recently been compelled to use #GoogleMaps for once, I wanted it to take me to the beach; however, it decided to lead me straight into a military checkpoint - AT GUNPOINT 🪖!Thank you, #Google... 😅
When I pointed to Google Maps, they nodded in understanding and let me go ;)
Google just thought it would be a nice idea to take a shortcut through a completely off-limits military zone.
