Google Maps will change the name of 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' once it is officially updated in the US Geographic Names System, Alphabet's Google said in an social media post.
The change will be visible in the US but the name will remain 'Gulf of Mexico' in Mexico.
Outside of the two countries, users will see both names on Google Maps. Reached for comment, a Google spokesperson referred Reuters to the company's X post.
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, the tallest mountain in North America, to Mount McKinley.
President Donald Trump ordered the name changes as part of a flurry of executive actions hours after taking office on 20 January , making good on a campaign promise.
