Workaround to access maps without "Gulf of America"?

Other than using VPN (which is too expensive for me at this scale), is there any way to set my computer so I can access maps without the "Gulf of America"? All I need is to appear to move 100 miles north to Canada.) I found MapQuest, good for directions, but would like the other features.

Can't believe Google rolled over so easily. Bing doesn't surprise me at all.

Hi Annie, if the name depends on your IP address, it is difficult to think of an alternative to using a VPN if you plan to use the service directly. There is a free version of Proton VPN you could look at, but it's not clear from the description how the country is selected (https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn).

There might be an indirect method to access the map using a remote computer to request the site. There are some services for developers that provide use of a variety of browsers installed on remote computers, but I don't know whether you can choose your country to view from.

Oh for... not sure how long it has been changed as it was more recent but even on https://www.google.ca/maps/ they now have mention of Gulf of America for the international body of water though they are doing it as "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" on the map.
