Political threats over names on Google Maps are nothing new. Google has dealt with this issue over and over worldwide. Sometimes the solution is to show different names to people in different countries. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what eventually happens here.

Yes, that's why it started showing "Gulf of America". > Sometimes the solution is to show different names to people in different countries. The "gulf of America" nonsense is nonsense originating and limited to the US. Allowing this stupidity to leak outside of the US is a problem no one signed up for. Let's keep the lunacy in the lunatic asylum.
