Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico)
- that's backwards..
  Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of _{what used to be} America)
  
  Major map providers are rolling out the change of name gradually worldwide.
  
  Openstreetmap still uses the correct name.
  
  Organic map is good. But not yet as rich as Gmaps for developing small countries.
  
  In Southern Chile, Organic Maps was leagues better than Google. GMaps was basically unusable. So yeah, it depends where you are (and how many Germans live/travel there 😁).
  
  I live in Bangladesh 🇧🇩
