Apple is renaming the Gulf of Mexico in Apple Maps… and is going further than Google

Quick Summary:

When Google rolled out the name change at the weekend, the company took a three-pronged approach which means three different naming conventions are used in different parts of the world.

Shortly after Google Maps changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, Apple Maps is starting to do the same.

Having started to implement the name change itself, Apple is showing that it is willing to do more than Google by making the change global.
