On Monday, Google Maps announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, adhering to President Trump’s executive order. The shift will occur once updates are made in official government sources, like GNIS. Trump also ordered renaming Alaska's Denali back to Mount McKinley, reversing a decision that honored native names. This move aims to recognize McKinley’s legacy, emphasizing a commitment to internal naming consistency. The update will show local and global users both names, respecting different geographical naming conventions.
Google stated that it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America following an executive order by President Trump, implementing updates based on official government sources.
