I wonder how location dependent it is?

It shows "Gulf Of America" if you're in the USA. If you're in Mexico, it still shows as "Gulf Of Mexico".

AFAIK, anywhere other than USA will still show as Gulf of Mexico.

It's showing the same in at least 3 European countries (Netherlands, Sweden, Poland), too, see: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37545009
