Google said it would be complying with the name change as part of a long-standing practice of adhering to official government names. The move follows Donald´s Trump excecutive order cabecera
Google has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its Maps application, following a directive from the U.S. government.
In a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Google confirmed that the change aligns with its longstanding practice of adhering to official government names. The decision follows an executive order issued by President Donald Trump to rename the body of water, with the federal Board on Geographic Names formally approving the change on Monday.
“We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources,” Google stated.
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which is maintained by the United States Geological Survey, provides the official names used in Google Maps. According to Google, GNIS has officially updated “Gulf of Mexico” to “Gulf of America.”
“As we announced two weeks ago and consistent with our longstanding practices, we’ve begun rolling out changes to reflect this update. People using Maps in the U.S. will see ‘Gulf of America,’ and people in Mexico will see ‘Gulf of Mexico.’ Everyone else will see both names,” Google stated in a blog post.
Additionally, Mount Denali in Alaska is also undergoing a name change. It will be officially renamed Mount McKinley following President Trump’s January 20 executive order. Google indicated that this update would be implemented “quickly” once the name system is updated.
These changes reflect Google’s commitment to aligning with government naming conventions and ensuring consistency in its mapping services.
