Map module show "Gulf of America" for the "Gulf of Mexico"

[AmilagoDK]

I know Trump gave the Golf another name, but it is not his waters and the international community does not recognize that name change. So the maps should show internationally recognized names outside the U.S..

This is Google maps. Most likely the call is made from an Adobe server in the USA (because Adobe pays Google for the use of Maps in Lightroom Classic), so Google maps shows the 'Trump name'.

I guess Adobe is not itself responsible for mapping information, so we must rely on other suppliers for that.

I feel this gets less contentious by remembering that "America" is the name of a continent - within which Mexico, the USA as well as other countries exist - and not itself a nation (grin).

This is plain stupid to say the least, but it is what it is.
