Please continue to report.
A tweet from user @delsalcott features a screenshot of a reporting interface. The interface asks, "What issue do you want to report about Gulf of America?" with the option "Name is wrong" selected. Other options include "Location on map is wrong" and "Something else." The tweet's caption reads, "About to be insufferable," implying the user is about to correct the incorrect name, as "Gulf of America" is not a real geographic term (likely referring to the Gulf of Mexico).

for the people that can't report on the location directly anymore, just leave the map open over the Gulf of Mexico and report a general technical issue, then use the highlighter function to highlight the broken part of the map. I have done this daily for the past three days.

I just tried and they won’t let me “send” the report?

@bucachowchow Is this Apple? (That's what my Apple Maps report looks like.) If you actually change the name to what it should be, it will let you send.

Dude, please stop telling people to do this. It *actively* undermines your point.

Ok, so this sounds like a really bad idea. Hear me out:

If your first step of resistance is to *use the service that's collaborating with the nazis*, you're doing it wrong.

Every time you use google, google makes money. Stop feeding the trolls.

They don't care what you think. This opinion multiplied millions of times takes one line of SQL to destroy.

They care about your data and the money you are making for them by using them!

Stop. Using. Google.

Please use OpenStreetMap-based apps instead.

@me It depends. In Germany the OSM data is good enough for navigation. For car navigation I use MagicEarth. It also has traffic data at least for major roads. I don't know about the OSM data quality where you live. But the good thing is: If something is wrong or missing, you can fix it!

1. Google Gulf of Mexico.
2. “Gulf of America" will be at the head of Google’s answer.
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of “Gulf of America”.
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America" text.
6. Select "Inaccurate content".
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in whatever text you want such as "The correct name of this body of water is “Gulf of Mexico".

If you are international,Gulf of A will show up in parenthesis behind Gulf of M

@blogdiva Probably could report the location wrong once in awhile, just to mix it up. I think the Gulf in America is located in DC. Or Moscow.

I disabled google maps (because apparently I cannot delete it). I switched to the "Here we go" app, which is good enough, *and* it correctly identifies the Gulf of Mexico.

Apparently the cowards turned off the ability to post about the Gulf of "America" 🙃

I had to X out the golf of America and change it to Gulf of Mexico or I could not get the send button.

This was the first thing I tried to do. For Finland the name is in parentheses but you cannot report anything wrong with the name.

Seen from a European perspective, calling the Golf of Mexico after a whole continent sounds quite woke to me, as if Trump wanted Canada, Brazil and Argentina to participate, too. It‘s just not very geographically precise, I‘m afraid.

Report is not possible here in Europe - currently reviews are turned off as well - there is no possibilty to inform Google about their typo in the name "Gulf of Mexico".

the Gulf of America has officially transitioned. If you keep calling it Gulf of Mexico, you're deadnaming it. Do better.
