Generally, Google shows the appropriate name based upon where you are located. So for everyone outside of 'murica, it's still the Gulf of Mexico.
They said that but it’s a fat lie.
They did say both names, but this is a complete cop out.
They are coming for our freedom fries next.
Well. O. K. Then it's my not the 'USA" that did this anymore. It's to be called "North Mexico" now. Fair's fair.
Using google maps from Australia it's labelled like "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)"
I think the Australian government should call it "gulf of not Australia" and see if google adds another title.
bing still shows correctly for me.
Google can officially gargle deez nutz
