People are googling it, then reporting it as inaccurate information as a movement to flood Google with it.

The Cheeto can say whatever he wants, won’t make us change what we call it. Asinine.

When using Maps in the US, people will see the updated name, while in Mexico, it will still appear as the "Gulf of Mexico." The rest of the world will see both names.

The names shown on Maps depend on your location, determined by your phone's settings or network.

I Googled Gulf of Mexico and then flagged Google on the titles and maps that are using any other name. It's been the Gulf of Mexico for almost 600 years.
