Google says it will take its cue from the U.S. government if it has to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali on its Maps service

Google plans to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America and that of the Alaskan mountain Denali to Mount McKinley in Google Maps, the company said Tuesday in a series of tweets. The news follows President Donald Trump's executive order to rename the body of water and mountain on his first day in office.

Google Maps users in the U.S. can expect to see “the Gulf of America” in place of “the Gulf of Mexico” and “Mount McKinley” instead of “Denali” on the map, in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order of last week.
