    Google Maps is US-based. And even if it wasn’t, it’s still going to use official US data for US locations, just like they use official Australian data for Australian locations. If Australia renamed the Sydney Harbour Bridge to Bridgey McBridgeface, they’d show the new name even if you view it from a different country.

      saying the gulf of Mexico is an US location is like saying the Pacific Ocean is an US location.

        The part north of the Mexico - US maritime border is US territory and the US can name it whatever it wants.
