Just checked Google maps and saw it's now changed to the white supremacist name. Gross. I will never use that name for it.
It shows as Gulf of Mexico (gulf of America) if you're outside the USA.
It used to do that this morning when I zoomed out, but now it just has the false name all the time. Wish Google maps had an "I'm not a white supremacist" setting.
Still the gulf of Mexico for me.
Good time to switch to Organic Maps.
Even in Google it only shows the incorrect name depending on your location, as if ordering federal agencies to call it that has anything to do with anyone else.
Just looked. Mine's showing "Gulf of Mexico" with Gulf of America in brackets underneath.
