The Gulf of Mexico has a 4.5 -star rating on Google Maps with nearly 7,000 reviews.

Users started leaving one -star reviews after the company changed the bay’s name to the “Gulf of America ” in accordance with the Trump administration.

Google also shut off the ability to suggest an edit to the location, presumably because people were suggesting it change the name back to the Gulf .
