The name change to Gulf of America is the first since the 1540s where various maps referred to it as the Mexican Gulf, Golpho de la Nueva España, and, finally Gulf of Mexico.

Mexico says Google relabeled the entire gulf, including Mexican and Cuban maritime areas, but President Trump’s order applies only to the U.S. continental shelf.

Apple Maps, Bing Maps and Google Maps have all changed their Maps software and apps to now display Gulf of America on the body of water that's been known as the Gulf of Mexico since the 16th century.
