Google Maps will soon rename Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’

SMRTR summary

Google Maps will soon reflect name changes ordered by the Trump Administration for the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Denali mountain. The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed "Gulf of America" for U.S. users, while Denali will revert to its previous name, Mount McKinley. These changes will take effect once the official U.S. geographic naming database is updated. Google notes that contested names will display differently for users in different countries.
