▲ 284 ▼ Google to change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in maps (www.dw.com) submitted 2 years ago by MicroWave@lemmy.world to c/world@lemmy.world 76 comments fedilink hide all child comments Summary Google Maps will rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" for U.S. users following a U.S. government decision. The U.S. Department of Interior recently announced the official name change, implemented by the Board on Geographic Names. Google stated it updates names based on official government sources. The name will remain "Gulf of Mexico" in Mexico and display both names elsewhere globally. This change stems from an executive order by Trump, who also reversed the 2015 renaming of Alaska's Denali to Mount McKinley.
