How to protest the renaming of the Persian Gulf on Google Maps

 After completing the above steps, enter the following text inside the corresponding box (number 6):

Dear Google Maps Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

We, as a group of concerned users, are writing to respectfully request the correction of a geographic naming error in your map service. The body of water currently labeled as the “Arabian Gulf” has been historically and internationally recognized as the Persian Gulf for over two millennia.

The name “Persian Gulf” is not only rooted in ancient historical records, such as those of Herodotus, Ptolemy, and countless Islamic and Western sources, but is also officially recognized by the United Nations and almost all international organizations and atlases, including the National Geographic Society and Encyclopædia Britannica.

Using alternative names undermines historical accuracy and can contribute to cultural and political tension. We respectfully urge you to uphold academic integrity and international standards by correcting the name on Google Maps to “Persian Gulf”.Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to providing accurate and responsible geographical information.
Sincerely
