Apps and Platforms That Get Morocco's Map Wrong
Major map platforms have historically shown Morocco with a dashed southern border. Following recognitions since 2020, several have moved toward the unified map for users in Morocco and beyond.

Why apps differ

Platforms localize maps by user region and follow UN/ISO conventions, producing different borders for different audiences.

That is why the same app can show two versions of Morocco.

The shift

After 2020, some services updated their depiction, especially for users inside Morocco. Pressure for a single global map continues.

Government recognitions accelerate these changes.

Frequently asked
