Apple Maps now uses the ‘Gulf of America’ name instead of ‘Gulf of Mexico,’ with the US getting the change first before a global rollout.

    Can we report incorrect data until they fix it?

    Edit: yup, easy process.

      I just left a review for it on Google Maps claiming it’s the best Mexican Gulf.

      Apple doesn’t listen to feedback much.

        Ah, yeah, we shouldn’t try then.

        They have been correcting all my map reports pretty consistently. But I’m suspecting this one will be different.

          @ClassifiedPancake @Sunshine @apple_enthusiast they really, really need to ditch Cook and get back to their roots.

            I don’t believe Apple will ever go back to that. They have become too big.

          @ClassifiedPancake @Sunshine @apple_enthusiast I’ve tried to report it and haven’t found a way through their category questions to say something, particularly a natural geographical feature, is mislabeled, only that some location is missing from the maps.
