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

  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.

  Beg your pardon, but the Gulf of America has officially transitioned and if you continue calling it the Gulf of Mexico, you’re deadnaming it.

  Yeah, the company that donated one million dollar to a mfer that promised nothing but fascism is not fascist…

  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.

  “harass them mercilessly”

  Wow, that’s your response to something you don’t agree with? Harass them?

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

    I can’t understand would it even have the part in parentheses in Europe. Think how silly it would look if every location had the regional name for every nearby country added in parentheses after the primary global name. It would be a mess.

    Eg:

    Germany (Deutschland, Allemagne, Niemcy, Germania, Saksa, <etc>)

    Feels to me like special rules Apple has to stroke special fascist egos.

    But maybe its not Apple and this is a name set by your local governance. You mind if I ask what country Apple maps you’re looking at?
