Google Maps updated the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, a change made by the Trump administration, for map users in the United States. Shortly after the update to Google Maps, critics said they attempted to leave negative reviews about the newly renamed body of water.

Popular map services such as Google Maps, Apple Maps and Bing Maps have all changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in the U.S.

Google has officially updated Maps to label the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," following U.S. President Donald Trump 's executive order renaming the sea. Fortunately, the tech giant is also retaining the gulf's internationally recognised name which it has held since at least 1552 — at least, for non-American users.
