@dangillmor@mastodon.social Don't use Google Maps, it sucks anyway.

Meanwhile on OpenStreetMap there is a little bit of an edit war on the Gulf of Mexico.

People have changed it to "Gulf of America" a few times and each time it has gotten reverted.

The current solution on OpenStreetMap is the following:name:en "Gulf of Mexico" official_name:en-US "Gulf of America" source:official_name:en-US "https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/search/names/558730"
Every other language and locale still calls it Gulf of Mexico.
