Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps
-
Did the same in my area. The roads are good, but the businesses are either missing or outdated. I probably added 100 over the last few months.
It's kinds fun! When I go out, I check OM and see what's missing, take some pictures, and then go edit a bunch of stuff that night. It doesn't take long, and I feel like it's worth my time.

Thanks for providing that link. I knew about OSM, but didn't fully grasp that (duh) it's open which means I can help with the data. Time to get busy!

That's reassuring. We all know that google is the best at user support.

For them to not exist and to stop it they meed to be cleaned over regularly. Some countries had that figured out.

Send a complaint through the site. Flood them with complaints about how they are an evil corporation licking Trump's boot and that it's the Gulf of Mexico.
Don't let these damn corporations win.

Apple still has it as Gulf of Mexico.

That's a weird flex by South Canada.

If Justin Trudeau gets active on this, you can probably get it to Gulf of Canada (Gulf of Mexico) (Gulf of America).

and the trillionaires will soon take over!

you mean of course, to put the US on top, right. #USANumber1

Did not know about Street Complete. Thanks for the recommendation!

iirc, it's the policy for countries that google categorizes as "sensitive" (aka sensitive snowflakes). US users see gulf of America, but surrounding countries still see gulf of mexico.

Same in Europe

You do you, but that is literally yelling at a cloud.
Stop using Google services altogether, delete your accounts. Block ads. That's the only way to cost them some pennies.

This is the way.

Same in a little bit to your west Europe.

Recently began contributing to OpenStreetMap. Information on my place is quite outdated, lots of work to do!
