I wonder how location dependent it is?

It shows "Gulf Of America" if you're in the USA. If you're in Mexico, it still shows as "Gulf Of Mexico".

It's showing the same in at least 3 European countries (Netherlands, Sweden, Poland), too, see: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37545009

Hahaha I thought Google was benevolently collecting my personal data for my own good. I consented right? /s

No, they're just virtue-signaling goodness while being so closed that they can never really be trusted. Their maps will silently fall in line during the next big unrelated news cycle. Their "Find My" location spy network that tracks everything in America will then be put to task, among other evils one will never know about due to the OS and chips all being so closed to external observation.

The irony is that it doesn't specify which America.

Good point that naming it "Gulf of Americas" would solve all issues 😅

Funny how a single "S" prevented a hit and gave us shit
