Google Maps to rename 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' for US users
Jan 27, 2025 3:36 PM

WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Google Maps will change

the name of "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" once it is

officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System, it said

in an X post on Monday.

The change will be visible in the U.S., but it will remain

"Gulf of Mexico" in Mexico. Outside of the two countries, users

will see both names.
