Seems a little harsh. What app do you plan on switching to?

Personally, I’ve been using Apple Maps for over 8 years without issue. I just checked the gulf, it’s of mexico and I am in the US.
I have bad news for you if you think Apple is not going to fall in line.
Well they haven't. Neither has MapQuest, and weirdly Waze..
Give it time. If they still haven't renamed after a year, that's something. But even then, maybe just some lag.
OpenStreetMap? They don't show ocean names on the map, and didn't change the primary name of the GoM POI, but instead added the new name as an official en-US name (and the official name used by Poland too).

My phone's been having shit battery life lately so I've been keeping a paper map in my bag. Maybe I'll just go back to using that.
I personally don't feel strongly enough to move off Google Maps, but, harsh? It's an app.
