Google Maps now officially show the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America if it opens the application in the United States. in Blog postGoogle said that she had offered the change called because the government has already had it to update Geographical Name Information System (GNIS), which decides "The federal and national standard for geographical designation."

The GULF OF America will not be visible unless you use the MAPS app in the United States, or if you open the maps on the web and your device’s location is set on the area. If you are in Mexico, the brand still shows the Gulf of Mexico. And if you are elsewhere, you will see that it was marked both, specifically: the Gulf of Mexico (the Gulf of America). It is also a long -term policy for the company to show official local names when they differ between countries. Trump’s executive command also re -named Denali, the highest mountain peak in North America, to Mount McKinley. To date, the site is still displayed as a dinale on the maps.
