Google Maps to Update Names for Gulf of Mexico and Denali.

Google Maps will rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America" in the U.S., following its update in the United States Geographic Names System. The name will remain "Gulf of Mexico" in Mexico, while both names will appear internationally. The Trump administration officially changed the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali (North America's tallest peak) to "Gulf of America" and "Mount McKinley," respectively, as part of executive orders issued on January 20. Google confirmed these changes would reflect on its platform, using localized labeling similar to other naming disputes globally.
