Organic maps updates its dataset once a month or so. It will eventually be updated to the gulf of America, as it is now, technically named the gullf of America in America. See discussion here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571

Seems like that it is going to be not renamed but they're adding a "official" tagged name, which is the Gulf of America.

Organic Maps is really cool :-)

Yeah, it's even better than GMaps for me, because GMaps doesn't have bike navigation (where I live) while Organic Maps has all the bike lanes marked and navigatable.

Yeah it's way better for biking and walking. I also find the map a lot more coherent, with GMaps I often had to resort to the satellite view to see what's going on.
