Why hasn’t Google Maps considered adding a conservative layer to restore features like Denali and the Gulf of Mexico?
It’s an interesting idea to suggest adding a conservative layer to Google Maps to represent geographical names and features that have changed over time or have different cultural significance. However, mapping platforms like Google Maps typically prioritize the most widely accepted and official names to ensure consistency and usability for the majority of users.
That said, there could be potential value in offering a toggle feature that allows users to see historical or alternative names for geographical locations, similar to some historical maps or cultural context layers. This would provide a more enriched understanding of the areas while acknowledging different perspectives. Ultimately, the challenge lies in balancing these features without overwhelming users or complicating navigation. What do you think would be the best way to implement such a feature?
