Apple Maps has quietly been updated to change the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" when viewed by U.S. users. This comes a mere day after Google made the same change to its own Maps app.

Apple’s name change of the Gulf of Mexico follows Google and Donald Trump ‘s executive order mandating the switch. Google addressed the name change in a post on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter.

Donald Trump takes the oath of Office as US President on January 21, 2025, and immediately announces his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, along with renaming Mount Denali back to Mount McKinley, and other geographic ambitions like annexing Canda, taking over Greenland, and reclaiming the Panama Cana l.
