Google Maps to rename 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' for US users

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Google Maps will change the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, it said in an X post on Monday. The change will be visible in the U.S., but it will remain "Gulf of Mexico" in Mexico. The Trump administration's Interior Department said on Friday it had officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and the Alaskan peak Denali to Mount McKinley.
