Google renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps.

On Monday, Google Maps flipped the switch renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.On his inauguration day, among a few executive orders, President Donald Trump signed one that renamed the Gulf of Mexico. That same move overturned an Obama-era ruling that Mount McKinley was to be renamed Denali-a name that Indigenous communities had used for centuries. The term “Gulf of Mexico” has been the most generally employed designation since the 16th century for this body of water.President Trump announced that the renaming was to “restore American pride in the history of American greatness.” And so, along those lines, Google Maps actually made the change.

As of this afternoon, US users of Google Maps no longer see the Gulf of Mexico where they once did; instead, it’s the Gulf of America. International users still can view both names, but Mexican users will still see only the Gulf of Mexico. Earlier this year, Google said it would abide by Trump’s executive order once the place names were updated in the United States’ Geographic Names Information System.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed concern over the decision and announced plans to send a letter to Google questioning the change. Nevertheless, Google maintains that this adjustment aligns with its policies for handling regional name differences. The Maps app adapts to a user’s country, relying on details from their device’s operating system, SIM card, and network.While Google has followed Trump’s decree, Apple still hasn’t replaced the name in its Maps. An “America Gulf” query returns nothing. Apple hasn’t renamed Denali either, even though Trump directed the change be made.

But, then again, Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai, attended Trump’s inauguration, as did Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, who also gave $1 million personally to the Trump inaugural fund, a sum similarly matched by Google. And Apple has still not implemented the Gulf of America name change in its mapping service.

The renaming has raised controversy mainly among Mexican officials and historians who say the old name holds rich historical and cultural value. Regardless, Google will continue to apply changes that have been made based on geographic databases recognized by the government.
