This is what I see in England. Why should I have to see what Trump thinks the Gulf’s name is when it wasn’t renamed here?
Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.

It is labeled Gulf of Mexico in Mexico and the name doesn’t mean they own it. This is almost as ridiculous as calling it Gulf of America in the first place

Because it’s relevant to the region you’re looking at and I’m pretty sure the UK hasn’t taken a firm/legal stance either way. Also not sure how your comment is supposed to relate to my point? Mexico doesn’t have any more right to tell other countries what to call the Gulf than the US or any other country that’s totally outside of any sane jurisdiction

There is an international maritime treaty that has taken a firm legal stance. Trump is defying it.

Can you site something for what you’re talking about?

I’m in tijuana about 10 miles south of the border and it shows as Gulf of America

You’re probably connected to a US access point or have cached map data.

Maybe. I’m on wifi provided by a Mexican telecom. It’s probably my US sim. The comment i replied to said “it shows as this in mexico” and my point was, no, not for everyone. I’m not interested enough to try to nail down the exact reason.

If it’s in english and it shows up like that then it’s most likely because you have your language set to english (USA).
