For several years now, the West Philippine Sea could not be located in Google Maps, which would show only a very limited area of the WPS close to Luzon when the term is searched. Now, not only has Google Maps plotted the WPS, it also showed the stretch of the area up to the Spratly Islands or the Kalayaan Group of Islands.
