Google Maps is implementing a change where the Gulf of Mexico will be renamed as the Gulf of America for users in the United States. This update aligns with modifications in the U.S. Geographic Names System, as previously directed by former President Donald Trump. However, the name remains unchanged for users outside the U.S., including Mexico. Google Maps has a history of using different naming conventions for disputed locations, such as "Sea of Japan (East Sea)" and "Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf)," to accommodate regional perspectives.
