I have a favor to ask if you're outside the United States. What does Apple Maps show you for the Gulf of Mexico? Let me know where you are and, if applicable, what your OS settings are for region and language. Screenshots appreciated.
Google, to their credit, has issued a document describing exactly what people should see from Google Maps: “People using Maps in the U.S. will see ‘Gulf of America’, and people in Mexico will see ‘Gulf of Mexico’. Everyone else will see both names.”
Apple, unfortunately, has adopted the new name, at least for US users, without any comment.
