Created an account just to say, PLEASE - keep this label as “Gulf of Mexico”. As on open community, we should not bend to the knee of a tyrant. One sad pathetic man should not have that power. I am disgusted and ashamed to be an American right now. Google, Apple, and the rest sell us out. I refused to comply. OSM must remain unbiased, and keep the name which has defined this body of water for hundreds of years.
As of revision version #85, OpenStreetMap has the following tags for Golfo de México:
So now that is in the hands of the folks who use the OSM data. It’s in a somewhat exotic tag, so by default any map that uses OSM will still show Gulf of Mexico, unless they actively intervene to show Gulf of America. So if you see an OSM based map showing the latter, you know they made that choice consciously.
