I don't recommend Google Maps anymore. It's a really shitty map. I've been reporting bugs for ages and they never fix them. Also the GPS is really terrible, it sets the road full of constant turns and forces you to drive on small narrow internal roads instead of normal open roads. The localisation option sucks too, it keeps showing me that I'm somewhere else and my position is always a few metres off and it's so delayed that you don't know if you've made a good turn or not unless you wait like half a minute. Also the glitches in the map, missing locations, blurry photos, random photos swapped around and extreme inconsistencies. It's crazy that this shit is still being used. I bought a dedicated GPS for a car and in my phone and PC, I use OpenStreetMaps or its forks.

So many important issues affecting America right now ..... and the country and its government is fixated and pouring so much energy, manpower, knowledge, education, experience and capability into .... renaming something on a map that no really gives a shit about.

You misunderstand, that’s exactly the point. Giving you something to talk about, while rights are eroded elsewhere.

I am so glad that I switched our app over to OSM last year.
