“There's no saving America -- we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. Burn it down! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed!”

IIRC Google shows different names and borders depending on the location you're accessing it from. They just follow whatever the local government thinks is right.
In Portugal, it appears as “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”
In Germany, it is still "Golf von Mexiko".
Edit: when you zoom in, it is the same as in Portugal.

Surely it’s only “Gulf of America” from the southern tip of Florida across to the Mexican border?
Meanwhile in the UK
HERE WeGo still has Gulf of Mexico. Use HERE WeGo instead of Google shit.
Open Steet Maps also shows Gulf of Mexico. Most maps seem to get their data either from Osm, Bing or Google.
I prefer OrganicMap. Free and Open source made with the help of the community. Your suggestion is only play store and as a degoogled user I don't have access to it (Aurora store, I know but still). Not sure which one is better in terms of UI/UX but the fact It's not open source is a no go for me
Fuck Google and Samsung and everyone else who is preinstalled on my phone from the factory. I switched my phone OS to an AOSP GSI without the Google mobile services. Will probably be switching to WordPress from Blogger.
You should probably do some research on WordPress before migrating. Personally I wouldn't touch WordPress with somebody else's 10ft pole right now, the drama is an extreme turnoff. I've tried every AI chat bot except Automattics because I'm not interested in their games. Plenty of other great blogging platforms to choose from.
