Google changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. It would be just a total shame if we all flooded Google with feedback telling them the Gulf is labeled incorrectly.

Open Google Maps, zoom out and center on the Gulf of Mexico. Click on your photo in the upper right. Select Help & Feedback. Select Send Product Feedback. Report an issue. Tell them the Gulf of Mexico is labeled incorrectly.

@thegardendude The best solution is stop using Google Maps. That will really hurt them.

@_Wilbert @thegardendude GIS Geography is a satirical account? To put up Waze (Israeli, Google owned) as a Google Maps alternative?

If you believe that switching to other products will have no impact, you can continue to use Google maps as usual. Everyone has their own free choice.

@_Wilbert @thegardendude Fully agree, point is that moving from Maps to Waze is remaining with Google. I'm at this moment moving from Waze (extremely convenient and unmatched for real time traffic info) to OSM. Convenience no longer matches with Israel's acting and Techgiants selling us out
