Google Maps caves to Donnie on Gulf of Mexico and Mt. Denali...kind of

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.”

“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,” the company said in an X post.

But users in other countries will see both names displayed on the map in line with a long standing practice, the company said.
