Still showing “Gulf of Mexico” on Apple Maps for me as of three seconds ago. I’m not in the US.

Google and Apple have different versions of maps depending on what your country recognizes.
For example, it will shows territories claimed by China as part of China for Chinese IP addresses, but may show them as independent territories for other countries that recognize them as such.

Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.

I noticed that the send button was grayed out if you tried to report an incorrect name.

I just sent one in to Google Maps. Clearly it must be a bug. No such place exists

I’m sure they’re scrambling after this

You can leave a review for 'gulf of Mexico (gulf of America)' in Google maps too. Let's do a review bomb

The newest review listed is from a month ago and does not include my own 1 star review from the other day, so I'm guessing they're hiding them lol.

I'm in Europe, here it displays «Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)»
