Google says it has a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.

Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.

While the Gulf of America will be applied to federal references, other nations will not be required to recognize the name.

The renaming follows an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump, who directed that several landmarks across the country be renamed

The change will only be visible to U.S. users. Those in Mexico will still see “Gulf of Mexico,” while those in the rest of the world will see both names on the map.

Google is planning to update Google Maps to show the Gulf of America, after President Trump's executive order which renames the Gulf of Mexico. Here's when that will happen.

Trump also renamed Denali, North America’s tallest peak, as Mount McKinley, despite objections from Alaska’s senators.

This comes after President Trump signed an executive order on Inauguration Day that ordered the name Mt. McKinley be reinstated and the Gulf of Mexico be renamed.

Google said on Monday that it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” in Google Maps once it is updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System. Google Maps will also change the name of Denali in Alaska to “Mount McKinley.

Just days later, the Gulf of America has become a real thing.

Google said only users in the U.S. will see the change, adding that the name "Gulf of Mexico" will remain displayed for users in Mexico.
