        Really? Everything I’ve ever read about it says it only occurs for users inside the US. I don’t use Google services and am physically in the US (though I won’t be two weeks from now!) so I can neither confirm nor deny.

          I’m in Canada

          When I go to the map, I see

          The Gulf Of Mexico (Gulf of America)

          If I do a Google Search, auto fill shows

          Gulf Of Mexico (Gulf of America)

          AFAIK, only a few countries see just Gulf of Mexico, or at least did a few months ago. I know Germany and Sweden saw Gulf of America, others too. It was all over Reddit.

            I VPN out to Switzerland but have Google blocked and Apple devices, well, know my location so I’m never sure if it’s based the IP address or Location Services.
