Same thing in Spain. Kind of disgusting they're forcing it on everyone.
CoMaps still shows the proper name (Gulf of Mexico), and no mention of the Gulf of America, so that's another easy win for OSM and CoMaps
Huh - very interesting! Does it display that way in both english / spanish?
Oh that's an interesting question. Could be different. But no, just checked for French. It displays the same thing in both English and French
In Germany it says "Golf von Mexiko (Gold von Amerika)".
So weird, I wonder why it wasn't doing that in arabic. God it's not enough google is evil, they have to be obtuse about their shit while they do it.
