OpenStreetMaps (which is what everyone should be using) has a discussion on this - https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571/13.

Basically they added a piece saying "the US calls it this", but nobody uses it.

CoMaps is really solid but it needs to mimic the work flow of Google maps. Also, traffic based routing is essential for city driving. I would sacrifice a bit of privacy for the good of the community. I'm sure it could be done anonymously. I'd even be willing to pay for the service.

This article is blatantly lying, it says lake america just like all the other bootlicking morons.

I've seen the most politically apathetic centrists switch to mapquest over this whole thing, Maga really fucked google/apple. Lol

I neither need nor use maps but if I did I'd pick up a foldable one from my local gas station and if those don't exist anymore then it's MapQuest all the way!

I actually live in portugal, and when I checked google maps it was called Lake America so it's not just in America that it says that. Anyway I replaced it with mapquest but tbh MQ isn't super useful in my city. Good thing I know the place well enough already I guess.

Its not a move, its just common sense

Meanwhile, Eric Trump and Don Jr. are still calling it the "Gulf of Mexico"

“It’s one of the Great Lakes. There are acronyms like HOMES, and this is the ‘O,’” Berger explained, almost exasperated.

I think there's far better reasons for not changing it than preserving an acronym, but perhaps they think being more blunt would deter Trump-supporting customers.

For the impatient, mapquest left Ontario as Ontario.

its was the final straw for me and my iphone. When the battery gives up the ghost (probably soon) i ‘ll be replacing it with a non apple non google product.

HereWeGo is pretty good, it still says Lake Ontario.
