Google Changes Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America for US Maps Users After Trump Order
ai generated text
Following a US government directive, Google Maps has renamed the Gulf of Mexico as "Gulf of America" on its platform in the United States, in line with official US government geographic designations through the Geographic Names Information System. This change was made despite the Gulf of Mexico being a widely recognized and used name for the body of water.
The gulf will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping America's future and the global economy, and in recognition of this flourishing economic resource and its critical importance to our nation's economy and its people, I am directing that it officially be renamed the Gulf of America.
People using Maps in the U.S. will see 'Gulf of America,' and people in Mexico will see 'Gulf of Mexico.' Everyone else will see both names.
