Google Maps will soon rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America" for US users, following an order from President Donald Trump. The update, announced on January 27, will go live once the name is officially incorporated into the US Geographic Names System. The new designation will be visible to US  users, while the name "Gulf of Mexico" will remain for users in Mexico. For the rest of the world, both names will appear on Google Maps. Google confirmed the update via a tweet: "We’ve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps. We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources." Donald Trump To Sign Executive Order Banning Transgender People From US Army.
