Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America
-
Hot take, but I'd actually be fine with the US calling it the Gulf of the Americas since it is a shared gulf by north and south America. There are examples like the south China Sea and the Persian Gulf that have different names depending on what country you are in. But calling it the Gulf of America is just dumb.

Sears Tower
Staples Center
6th Avenue
Gulf of Mexico
I don't give a shit who thinks it should change, I'll use the original names forever

Reported it on Apple Maps as the wrong name. See how long they let reports come in.

Par for course

Yeah gulf of “North America” would be more accurate in that scenario

That opens another can of worms, since the continent is called America, and the country that appropriated it is The United States of America. Calling the continent “Americas” implies that USA is the original America.
As recent as the 80s it was still called America by everyone except USA and some countries of Europe.

OK, fine, Central America. OP's point still stands.
