   Well, *here* [1] (in The Netherlands),

Frank, I've been on Usenet for decades and only a small handful of people are so
worthless as to warrant me bothering to plonk them, Alan Baker being one.
It's a lot of work for me to edit regular expressions to plonk someone, but
people like Snit, Alan Baker, Rod Speed, Joerg Lorenz, et al. warrant it.
Suffice to say: What Alan Baker said is dead wrong.
What you said, that I tested on an iOS device, was completely correct.
It's a waste of everyone's time to ever respond to Alan Baker, but to prove
the point that you are correct, here's my iOS Apple Maps search result:
 <https://i.postimg.cc/PqRk4pMT/search-apple.jpg> That's the result of an iOS Apple maps search for only the three words:
 "Gulf of Mexico"
In short, the Apple trolls like Alan Baker are on Usenet only for their
amusement, as their only goal is to deny all facts that they don't like.
Which, pretty much, is all facts.
