    Maybe interesting for people here: There is not 1 Google Maps.

    There is a version per country.

    Open it in Russia and you might see a larger Russia…

    Open it in Ukraine and you might see the Ukraine, as if there was no war…

    So, it does not even surprise me that they change the name of something, if they even change borders…

      I now see the following: „Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)“

      I’m in Europe. Yes, there’s a version per country (or at least there are multiple versions), but this change is also made for places that will continue to call it Gulf of Mexico. Its annoying.

          Same, but still reviewed it 1 star. Shame my car can only use Google maps natively…

        Funnily enough in Mexico it’s still called Gulf of Mexico, no brackets or anything. I’m wondering if that’s the only place where it didn’t change.
