      No, it shows Gulf of Mexico. The commenter just wanted to give some good alternatives that people could use

        Oh ok good. Yeah, I’m in the USA and I am trying to add more content as fast as I can into open maps so that these alternatives could be more useful.

          Sorry, I misread your question. Yes, google maps shows “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” in Europe as well :(
