No its the same as the recent Google move of renaming Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, it is not easier, it just appeases trumps new mandates. Open Map systems around the world already include terms for Country/State/Province/territory, etc. Its a tag label in a program field.
Pretty sure this change was from November, but it's an issue now because of the Cheeto
Online articles say people have screenshots from a few days ago as of Provincial and now it says State Park, so even if google did make a back end change before January then the timing is odd for it to be showing changes now.
ok, i havnt seen that.
I mean it could be locally cached vs map update being the delay...just timing seems odd
