Here’s How All Online Maps Are Handling the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ Name Change

Recently, there has been a movement to change the name of the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to the ‘Gulf of America’ in an effort to more accurately represent the countries that border it.

Online maps such as Google Maps, Apple Maps, and MapQuest have all taken different approaches to this proposed name change.

Google Maps has not yet made any changes to the name, sticking with ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for now.

Apple Maps, on the other hand, has already updated the name to ‘Gulf of America’ in line with the proposed change.

MapQuest has decided to address the issue by providing both names on their maps, allowing users to choose which one they prefer.

Other online mapping services such as Waze and Bing Maps have also started discussions on how to handle the name change, with no official decisions made yet.

Overall, it seems that online maps are taking a variety of approaches to this controversial name change, reflecting the complexities of geography and politics.

It will be interesting to see how this issue continues to unfold and how online maps will adapt to reflect the changing world around us.
