This is what I see. Estonian Google (possibly EU-wide?) shows 'Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)'. In Estonian, 'Mehhiko laht (Ameerika laht)'.

I don't see why any European version of Maps needs to show the American name at all.

The solution that would liberate Google and not generate confusion and hostility would be for Estonians to use a European mapping service. Better yet, an Estonian one.
