WEST CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WXIX) – Google lists the Voice of America Centre as the “Voice of Mexico Center.”
The West Chester shopping plaza is labeled the “Voice of Mexico Center” on both Google and Google Maps Monday.
The Google Help Center says there are only two ways a listing can be changed:
The verified owner of the business profile can edit the informationGoogle users can suggest an edit for a listing
Kelly Skeens with Midland Atlantic Properties, which owns the property, said Voice of America Shopping Centre has not been renamed. She says she submitted a request to Google to have the listing changed to the correct name.
Requests can take up to five business days to be reviewed, according to Google support.
“I suspect their Google account connected to that got hacked and they used that to change it or they requested the changes to it and somehow it got through the verification process,” theorizes tech expert Dave Hatter.
The Google name change could be in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order that renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Google Maps now reflects that change, displaying the body of water as the Gulf of America.
As for Apple Maps, the shopping plaza is still displayed as Voice of America Centre.
