I've flagged it as an error and demanded to change it back to its internationally accepted name.

motsa.bsky.social•12 days ago

Google indicated right from the get-go that they were going to cave and include "Gulf of America" for this INTERNATIONAL body of water for everyone globally, which is absolutely stupid and, yes, a cop-out IMO.

Same in NL. What absolute nonsense. Can't believe I'm saying this after over 13 years of Android but I'm tempted to switch to Apple. Megacorp are megacorp but beginning to feel this is the lesser of two evils? Apple and Microsoft are doubling down on their DEI which helps.

Same from Spain, yeah… Now it's got the same treatment as "Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)"

Cuba should insist on calling it Gulf of Cuba so we can find out how Google Maps writes it. Will it be "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America, Gulf of Cuba)" or "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America (Gulf of Cuba))"? We need answers.

My Review of The Gulf of America on Google Maps
"The #Gulf of America is a toxic cesspool of racist #xenophobia and #nativism. The selection of the name was gravely wrong the day it was decided and will be changed back in the course of history.

Don't quit Google Maps. Sabotage it.

#Trump

Maps of Make-Believe

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.

Someone should report to the official liaison for Google search results. We must let them know we can’t find the Gulf of Mexico. It’d be wrong not to inform them.
