Well, the "Gulf of America" nonsense is also shown here, in brackets after "Gulf of Mexico." So it seems like they're not content with just keeping it to the US

Well, the "Gulf of America" nonsense is also shown here, in brackets after "Gulf of Mexico." So it seems like they're not content with just keeping it to the US as originally stated.
- jsnell 2y agoAs far as I can tell, there was no such original statement. There was, however, a statement saying the opposite: https://x.com/NewsFromGoogle/status/1884012872768053467 https://x.com/NewsFromGoogle/status/1884012872768053467 > Also longstanding practice: When official names vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names. That applies here too.
- tlavoie 2y agoWhoops, I stand corrected. I thought I had read it elsewhere (news, I assume) that most countries would not see the change. Looking back... sigh.
