That’s nothing. Go to a world map and look for Tibet.

Google is not pandering. Old maps from the last two centuries are labeled that way.

That river has always been called Rio Bravo by Mexico, and Rio Grande by the US. I had a map once that had both names printed on the respective sides of the border.

Further investigation revealed that the Mexican name for the river is Rio Bravo.

I'm more alarmed that you didn't know that.

Google is pandering to the left...anybody catch the Google ads during the New Years Eve broadcasts last night - amazingly blatant leftwing propaganda - asking "why did we have a Cuban embargo?" and pictures of an American plane landing there implying that Obama was perfectly correct in ending our rejection of that murderous regime, and Kristin whats her name Jenner talking about we should all be more tolerant and what's wrong with being proudly transgendered, among others - shockingly biased and in your face advocacy for far-left causes by a company which has forced its tentacles deep into so much of our culture......

In South Texas, the river is routinely referred to as the Rio Bravo -- by Anglos and Latinos alike.

Most maps show both names.

If they changed the name, they would have to change the name of the movie.

My investigation of the map of Italy shows the city of Rome is called Roma by Google maps. Even worse, the Tiber River is referred to as Tevere. My investigation will continue and I’ll get back to you later.
