It’s called the Gulf of Mexico.

You may think otherwise, but it’s still GOM.

The next president will change it back as soon as they’re in.

Shows Gulf of America for me.



Google Maps is very inaccurate as far as waterway names go.

If the bayous of South Louisiana the names are very inaccurate especially.

Baw. You might want to update that iPhone 7 you got. It’s GOA on mine.

Pretending to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico was one of the stupider things I’ve seen a politician do.

I will never refer to it any other way. I still refer to the arena in Baton Rouge as the Centralplex.

Mine says "Gulf of America" here in NE Alabama, aka "The Beautiful".

This is bullshite. My device and browser are right smack dab here in the US yet are still showing Gulf of Mexico when I search for a map of Louisiana. Does GOA correctly show for anyone?


You know the next president after Trump will change it back…

I love that Google Maps shows under sea topography now.

This has been done for a while.

My best underwater topography view is the "canyon" located of the coast of Monterey, CA. And how you can see how the current river used to flow.

Here's what Google supposedly states as the reason I'm seeing GOM: If a Google Map of Louisiana still shows the "Gulf of Mexico," it is because your device, browser, or network location is recognized as being outside the United States, or your regional search settings are set to a different country
