Google has renamed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on its Maps for users in the U.S. following an executive order from President Trump. The change aligns with updates from official government sources after it was initially mentioned last month. Users in Mexico will still see Gulf of Mexico, while others globally will view both names. Google has a history of reflecting government-approved name changes on its maps, as demonstrated with the Persian Gulf/Arabian Gulf nomenclature used in the Middle East.
