Did Google rename the Gulf of Mexico? Yes. Google Maps has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” for users within the United States. The change follows an executive order issued by former U.

Google has officially updated Maps to label the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," following U.S. President Donald Trump 's executive order renaming the sea. Fortunately, the tech giant is also retaining the gulf's internationally recognised name which it has held since at least 1552 — at least, for non-American users.

The real name remains if you are viewing in Mexico, the Trumped up name applies for US-based users, and both are listed for those viewing Google in the rest of the world. The post Google changes Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’ but only if you are in US appeared first on Talker.
