That's the problem with tides. You have to live there to see the cool stuff. If you just visit, low tide is always at 3am.

A Norwegian fishing boat came into Parrsboro Harbor in the middle of the night. Ship was tied up and everyone went to sleep. They woke up in the morning. to find the boat resting at an angle in the "cradle" (a wooden frame next to the dock to keep boats from sinking into the mud). Apparently it took a while to calm them all down.

I, on the other hand, as a young person at that Jersey shore, asked someone how it could be low tide if the water was still there. They thought I was nuts.

I like to go out and look for critters at low tide. But you really need a more moderate tidal flow for that. San Diego is good for tidal pools. But at least the Bay of Fundy is warmer in the summer. 😄

You used to be able to dig for clams. But, due to over harvesting, pollution and climate change, the population has dwindled and it has been banned. The Economy Clam Festival is no more.

A little late to the game. Do you ever have maps zoomed out enough to even see it? I can honestly say in my daily use of the Maps app, it has never been visible.

This is the fix! Just have to go back into those same settings to get back to Fahrenheit, Imperial Units, and the date format of choice!! Thank you!

No, it isn’t the fix. There is no fix.

+1

Especially when it is something that they probably had never seen using Maps unless they were to zoom out enough to show the entire North America. Not something I have ever needed to do when looking for someplace to eat or to get driving directions to some place I am going.

It is almost like everything else that is happening that will have a financial impact on their pocket book is fine, but changing a label on map that is never seen is the problem everyone should be concerned about. Hey everyone, look over here while you put that $10 a dozen eggs into your basket!

I concur. At best the Gulf of Mexico could only rightfully be called the Gulf of America for only 12 miles out to sea. The rest of the gulf is known worldwide as the Gulf of Mexico. I am so disappointed that Apple is that afraid of Trump.

What kind of answer is this? Why did Apple change the name of the Gulf of Mexico?

Maybe I can say from now on we change the name for Apple in to Pear.

I want to change my app back to the Gulf of Mexico. The president has NO right to rename geographical facts.

Don't you think that's just a little histrionic?

Give us the option to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico back to the Gulf of Mexico. I guess it’s vpn time

I tried that and submit is now grayed out and will not let you submit it.
