Apple is changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its Maps app, following an executive order signed by President Trump in January. This change, which began rolling out for US users, will soon be available globally. While Google Maps has already adopted this name change for US users, it continues to show 'Gulf of Mexico' for other regions. Other mapping services, like Bing and MapQuest, maintain the original name, illustrating differing approaches in geographic nomenclature.
