I wish this was the in top 10 reasons to be upset with the US right now.

Unlike Google they still have a “report issue” button active.

Google Maps right now:
-
-
The Gulf of America is a great name.
-
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.
-
the gulf of mexico isn't bordering any country in south america
-
Par for course

Did my part

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.

Well, yeah, because the United States Geographical Service is the source of truth for geographical names. No surprise Google and Apple follow it. There's a little more breakdown than that, but that's the gist of it.

The change is fucking stupid, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Save your fucking ire for all the real shit going down. In comparison, this doesn't rate a single breath.
