Glaring Map Error

[BeardedLadyTina]

There seems to be a glaring error with the map, specifically with the Gulf of Mexico being erroneously labeled as the "Gulf of America". I'm pretty sure this is an error with the API, since a reply to an older post states that the app uses Google Maps API, and Google recently messed their map up with that error. Unfortunately both Bing Maps and Apple Maps have also adopted this error, so if you were to switch API's it would probably have to be to a smaller one that might not be as accurate with some smaller details, though if a map gets something as big as the Gulf of Mexico wrong I wouldn't be surprised if they also had errors with smaller details too.

Seems like the map TomTom uses doesn't have this error, though I don't know how much it'll cost to use their API. I'll try reaching out to them when I have the time.

Alas, Executive Order 14172 has already been published to the Federal Registrar, and been directed to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, which is where products like Google Maps, Bing, Apple Maps, etc get their names from. As far as the US government is concerned, that's the official name now. Going to be difficult to roll that back within the app.
