Everyone, listen: he meant ‘Golf of America’, because he’s a golfer, right? So Google, change the map again. And he wants you to change your name to ‘Gargle’, just because. Do it…now!
Yep. It's now got conflicting regional names, so Google's including the stupid name as a parenthesized alternative globally—except for U.S. (we get the stupid name only) and Mexico (supposedly original name only, but haven't confirmed).

Is there a way to contact them for errors and omissions?
I'd guess millions of people might want to help make the Google Maps 'experience better for everyone'...
Oh, NO! Please forgive me. We love americans too. At least I am not offended. I simply find the whole Gulf name thing amusing; I mean, he can call it whatever he wants because that does not affect my life here in Mexico. I suppose that it may give him some legal runaround paths on drilling issues?
I just left Google a one star review for the "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" because they misnamed it and we can't be sure which other labels they've got wrong.
Take a second:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico

It takes a little work, (I reached someone in advertising), but find a real person and give them holy hell
Google not only bent a knee, it did a full service of Trump
Trump, what are you thinking about this?
🫤
❌ Trump
❌ Putin
❌ Xi
What about us, people?
🫵 What shall we do?
😡 Why Trump decides about the name of Gulf
🤯 Is it his authority?
🛑 Crazy...
Instant delete.
One day Google will fund itself on the wrong side of history and labelled as a collaborator
The CEO has lost all integrity. I hope he will be the one who has to publically, globally apologise and replace the proper name
I hope we’re all there to loudly remind him of his stupidity
Also joined the United Nazi’s today.
What’s left?

It is shameful and he renamed it to spite Mexicans and to exude power: "You have to say things as I call them."
This pilot will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico. I don't take orders from dictators. El es un pendejo.
Denali stood, so proud, so tall,
Yet Google bent to Trump’s loud call.
The Gulf, the peak, both lost their name,
To fuel a fragile ego’s flame.

It’s no joke.
And, for those disgusted by the cowardice of Google, try Mapquest. They've been around for decades. Spread the word. SHUT THEM DOWN!

From France we get a 3rd version 👎
It's pretty bad when top execs pander to the whims of a mad king.
It also shows how low their priorities are, on par with septic tanks.
