【Watch Scandal Sin in the City (2001)】

Younger readers may not remember this,Watch Scandal Sin in the City (2001) but Google Maps wasn't always the default way to look up how to get places.

Wayback in the day, people would use paper maps, but there was an interim period for a while where a lot of people used a website called MapQuest. Well, MapQuest is not only still around, but we've actually got a reason to use it in 2025. Sort of. If you go to a special Gulf of Mexico-themed part of MapQuest, you can type in anything you want, and it'll generate a map that renames the Gulf of Mexico after whatever you typed in. For example:

There's not really a lot more to say about this. You can name it whatever you want, which is also official U.S. government policy these days. All of this was brought on by the fact that some people have apparently decided the Gulf of Mexico is called something else now, and Google Maps actually complied and changed the name in that app. Apple did the same thing, too.
