Google has announced that it will changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on maps for U.S. users once the change formally goes into effect.
According to The Washington Post, people living in Mexico will continue to see the “Gulf of Mexico” on their apps, while users outside of both the U.S. and Mexico will see both names.
In a post on X, Google said it has a practice of changing names when they have been officially changed through the government.
“We’ve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps. We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”
