Google Maps plans to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for users in the U.S. and rename Mount Denali to Mount McKinley globally, following a recent executive order from President Trump. The changes will reflect user locations, with U.S. users seeing the Gulf of America, while users in Mexico will continue to see Gulf of Mexico. For others around the world, both names will be shown alongside the Mount Denali and Mount McKinley names. These alterations highlight the intersection of politics and digital mapping.
According to a recent announcement, Google Maps will change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Mount Denali to Mount McKinley, depending on user location.
Google Maps has a unique handling approach for names; in the US users will see Gulf of America while in Mexico it remains Gulf of Mexico.
