Google Maps to rename 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' following Trump executive order


This comes after Trump's executive order.

It remains unclear when exactly Maps will show the said changes, however, Google states that it'll happen once the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated. The company also said Maps will rename Denali back to Mount McKinley, which was changed during Barak Obama's presidency, paying tribute to the Alaskan natives. It remains unknown when these changes will start showing up on Google Maps, as the company didn't give us the exact date that this will go into effect.
