Cool. I don't sympathise at all. They could stand but they choose to bend a knee to tyrants. It's no inconvenience to me to use alternatives to their products, as I'm sure it's no inconvenience to them that I do so. It's a peaceful solution all round.

Why should Google be the one who decides what is true?

I'm not saying a government necessarily is better (though I would think it is in most cases) but is it better to trust a private for profit company over a government?

You are asking a private company to decide national borders and names.

Boy are you insane

I'd use the open source ones but I haven't found one that handles transit schedules in my area yet. I'd be open to suggestions on that.
