Yeah it's weird. A lot of countries try to interfere with global mapping anyway. Like China which has its entire country at an offset by using a slighly offset datum standard.

It's called the China GPS Shift. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_geographic_dat...

Yes but they (especially China who will share with NK anyway) have enough satellites of their own, they don't need Google.
