Google Maps Stays Neutral By Only Showing Your Side in Border Disputes

    Border disputes are still going on in a bunch of places around the world. That makes life difficult for mapmakers, and especially difficult for the world's favorite online map service, Google Maps. As The Washington Post points out, Google strives to not get stuck in the middle of a territorial struggle, by showing you the border you most likely want to see based on where you're Googling from.

    Google Maps does a similar diplomatic dance for other controversial regions, for example referring to either the Persian Gulf or the Arabian Gulf depending on which nation's Google you're using.
