Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps
After announcing it would be renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, Google has officially changed on its Maps application.
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe interesting for people here: There is not 1 Google Maps.
There is a version per country.
Open it in Russia and you might see a larger Russia...
Open it in Ukraine and you might see the Ukraine, as if there was no war...
So, it does not even surprise me that they change the name of something, if they even change borders...
(Psst: It's "Ukraine", not "the Ukraine". It was "the Ukraine" when it was a territory of the Russian Empire. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Ukraine)
I now see the following: „Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)“
I’m in Europe. Yes, there’s a version per country (or at least there are multiple versions), but this change is also made for places that will continue to call it Gulf of Mexico. Its annoying.
Same in the UK.
Same, but still reviewed it 1 star. Shame my car can only use Google maps natively...
Funnily enough in Mexico it's still called Gulf of Mexico, no brackets or anything. I'm wondering if that's the only place where it didn't change.
I'm in the US and I see this if I zoom out a bit.
