Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉Apple Maps is showing Lebanon as a depopulated place. All village names erased.
Compare Lebanon, Syria and Israel.
Guess nobody lives there, they will need to send Israeli settlers to make the mountains and coastal resort towns flourish.
yosh@Migueldeicaza do you know of a map which is accurate? Open street map?
@yosh looks like open street map is fine. But you need to search in arabic. Google shows it if you really zoom in too.

Anne Ominousand the dashed lines showing the so-called disputed border around the Golan Heights...
an area that is in SYRIA, not israel. SMFH.
should not be in dispute - israel is simply an invading, occupying force when they aren't busy promoting religious extremism and terrorism
@rustoleumlove oh very good observation!

Mount Herman is also in Syria. There used to be an UN observation post on the top of it.

Paul Rietschka@Migueldeicaza Just don't call it lebensraum. Remember: it's not a crime if Israel does it.

@Migueldeicaza they show some of the big cities but that’s it, nothing else
you can even zoom in and see marked locations like businesses, hotels, and public squares but the village or town itself is not even marked
this is so strange and scary to look at
at first I thought maybe there’s some reason for it the government doesn’t want to share the geographical data or something but Google Maps has this place so……

@xeno yes and bing maps which is not remotely as good has everything labeled.
This seems to be a recent and purposeful change.
Bing, google, Apple and open street maps:
Michael Cook@Migueldeicaza OT: I never noticed my user icon shows up on the search bar in Apple Maps.
I saw it on yours, thought “that’s not right”, and checked.
Sure enough, my icon is there.
karussell@Migueldeicaza @xeno What purpose could this have?
@karussell @xeno “see? There is nothing there, people are making a big deal over nothing”
Franklin Delano Stallone@Migueldeicaza @xeno Without seeing it before the war it's hard to say if it is incompetence or planned.
But on Maps on macOS Matat didn't even show up initially for me and North Korea, as an example, is much more bare than Google Maps.
If the other maps go blank sure, but if it's to make people think there's nothing there then leaving it on Google maps & leaving the satellite images makes no sense.
They all rolled over on the gulf of America. I don't see Apple going out on their own on this.
disorderlyf@Migueldeicaza It does seem odd that there'd be so many roads in a place with such an allegedly small population that it's not worth labeling them.
ts 🚇@Migueldeicaza yeah, last I knew they still accepted the guy in the White House when he decided he could rename the Gulf of Mexico. What a shit-ass company 🍏
HTPC NZ@Migueldeicaza guess now we have confirmation what "i" in Apple products really stand for...

Hey Gus@Migueldeicaza just downloaded the Lebanon map via comaps on iOS and it is a massive difference, checking Apple Maps it shows the same as yours though.
wtf?
¡a!n@Migueldeicaza apples are really working hard for their desired position as tech fashion for the discerning new American fascist. NGL kinda looking forward to the chance to get back into Linux stuff in my new job.
Michael Lysons@Migueldeicaza Switched Map Mode and then they appeared.
Robin Barton@Migueldeicaza Israeli colonists love to claim the land they have ethnic cleansed is empty. Remember maps tell the story of its maker
