Thanks for your input as the goal is to see how and what changes (and why)
for both sides of the Pond, where the impetus comes from this side only.
I do have plenty of iOS devices (which is why I know so much more than any
of the Apple trolls do about Apple products as I compare them to Android).

My 10th-generation iPad shows only the "Gulf of America" as of today only.

Following your testing lead, when I search iOS Apple Maps for "Gulf of
Mexico", the word "Mexico" never shows up anywhere in the results.

So my empirical observation on this side of the Pond is similar to yours.
