    That’s odd; my Apple Maps says “Gulf of Mexico” and searching for “Gulf of America” shows 0 results.

    Unlike Google Maps/Earth….

      You have to access it from a US IP address to get the new name.

        From a UK or German IP address, Google maps has it as Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).

        We’re being dragged into this mess so will look to report it

        Irrelevant: Scared me for a sec, thought I had an IP leak as I VPN to Switzerland but remembered I explicitly allowed Maps to be routed through a US VPN.
