Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates
Source: CNBC
Google said Monday it will change the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America after the government updates its official government sources.
The company also said it will start using Mount McKinley, which is currently called Denali.

Weve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps, the company said in an X post. We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.
Google added that the Gulf of Mexico will remain displayed in Mexico. Users in other countries will see both names, the company said.

So idiotic.
And if Google is smart enough not to inflict Trump's crazy renaming of the Gulf of Mexico on Mexico, why the hell are they inflicting it on the rest of the world, even as an alternate name with both shown?
