    Further investigation revealed that Senkaku Islands, which is de facto controlled by Japan, is listed in Mapbox as Diaoyu Dao. How funny.

    The file that is attached to this post.

    I’m not that patriotic (as in Korean perspective — or maybe nationalistic for some) guy that I don’t really feel much about most of nationalism issues, but when Mapbox is disobeying their de facto statement and displaying Takeshima in place of Dokdo (Whatever Japan claims, it is de facto controlled by the Republic of Korea, thus Dokdo), I have to question Mapbox’s quality that it is not reliable for any use whatsoever, even for personal use like me. I’m gonna convert to Google Maps this week. I really liked Mapbox Street’s design, but that’s it. A full stop here. I liked this for a day or two, but meh. I may recosider when they change the name to either Dokdo or Liancourt Rocks (acceptable alternative).

    The main OSM tile and thunderforest’s tile (I tested atlas) correctly says ‘Dokdo’, for the record.
