In Canada, I see the "new" name along with Gulf of Mexico. Seems like a weird take. Every sovereign island should start naming it a different way, I'd like to see if Google would display 27 names for the same Gulf...

Edit: I'm wrong here. They are doing it based on IP address, not domain for some reason. https://www.google.de/maps will show the parenthetical only when accessing it via a non-US IP and will show just "Gulf of America" when on a US IP even on that domain.

I don't know why they decided to to do that in Canada. In the UK (for example), it only says "Gulf of America", same with Germany.
