    Yeah, Google has done this for at least 15 years.

    If you view the Ukrainian border in Russia, it's different than if you view it in a NATO country

    Same for the border between India and China depending on which side you're on

    Same for the Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America

    If you view this in the US, it's America, if you view it in Canada it's Ontario.

    They change the map to match whatever the country you're viewing from says it is
