Original: How Google determines the names for bodies of water in Google Earth (2008)
A 2008 Google public policy blog post explaining how the company determines the names of bodies of water in Google Earth is being widely shared and discussed. The post outlines Google's approach to labeling seas, gulfs and other waterways, balancing international naming conventions, disputed names, and local usage. Readers are revisiting the explanation amid ongoing debates over geographic naming disputes in mapping products.
Why now: Renewed interest in how mapping services handle disputed geographic names, particularly bodies of water.
