Good title: Phrase (not a sentence!) that reveals the focus of the paper

Google Maps has been upsetting foreign nations for quite some time now.

In John Gravois’ “Agnostic Cartographer” there is a huge debate concerning Google Maps and what regions are listed as.

In the article, “The Agnostic Cartographer,” John Gravois discusses the role Google has had in global politics.

The agnostic cartographer is about Google Maps labeling and un-labeling various mountain ranges and regions in a wrongful manner.

The author of “The Agnostic Cartographer tells about how Google’s open-ended maps entangle the corporation in geological disputes.

In “The Agnostic Cartographer,” John Gravois explains that the company Google is in fact an Agnostic Cartographer because it inadvertently wades into political disputes, cannot define itself, and fails when attempting to please all parties which leads to global disputes; meanwhile Google collects revenue from all of the searchable dominion it provides and profits no matter the consequences.

In the article “The Agnostic Cartographer” John Gravois says that Google has too much influence in the map making world by making multiple versions to make each country satisfied and has caused many problems just for money.

In “The Agnostic Cartographer,” John Gravois says Google created their own political disputes by their indecisive map-making.
