I was curious about Open Street Maps, since anyone can edit it.
Gulf of America comes up specifically as an official name for US, and there is also a note about how if you change the English name without agreement in the discussion then it will be reverted:
Discussion is here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571
It seems the general consensus is that the US have that as an official name, but it's not the common English name so name:en stays as the Gulf of Mexico.

The more quickly the world decouples from the US, the better.

China world love to come in and fill this gap. But who will keep the shipping lanes free of piracy? They have the world's largest navy.

Even the german language version does this now.
How long until the US pull a China and attack mexican fishing boats?

Doing my part.

Apple at least aren't showing me that dumb shit in Australia that Google is doing with parentheses:

Rolling out world wide. I moved to organic maps.

Source? Only reason I'm using Apple Maps in the first place is because I need public transport directions and it's not Google Maps. Organic Maps doesn't have them, and I don't want to use the app my state gov puts out because the way it calculates connections is garbage. Most international PT-only apps don't have my city even though it's the biggest in Australia.

Don't forget Microsoft with Bing maps. At least Google made this just for US users, they made it for everyone.

From Thailand and Singapore it shows as “Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico)”

UK here. It's the reverse for me.
-
Same for France
-
Yes, I'm checking now and that's true, old info from me, yesterday from Spain was still Gulf of Mexico, now Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)... Well, tomorrow it will probably be Gulf of America for everyone, they are doing this progressively.

maps.me still keeping it so far, from OSM.

Just because you know cartography is lying, doesn't mean that you have to do it on purpose
