While the Gulf of America will be applied to federal references, other nations will not be required to recognize the name.

You might be hearing about the gulf off the coast of the U.S. and Mexico. Here's what to know about the body of water the size of Alaska.

This comes after President Trump signed an executive order on Inauguration Day that ordered the name Mt. McKinley be reinstated and the Gulf of Mexico be renamed.

Google Maps said it would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America once it is officially updated in the U.S. Geographic Names System.

Donald Trump used an executive order on Monday to rename two American landmarks. In one of his first acts as president, Donald Trump used an executive order on Monday to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Denali in Alaska.

The change will only be visible to U.S. users. Those in Mexico will still see “Gulf of Mexico,” while those in the rest of the world will see both names on the map.

Trump also renamed Denali, North America’s tallest peak, as Mount McKinley, despite objections from Alaska’s senators.

President Donald Trump said the Gulf of Mexico will be called the Gulf of America, while the Denali mountain peak will revert to its former name, Mount McKinley.

Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.

Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and restore Denali in Alaska, the highest peak in North America, to its previous name, Mount McKinley.

Google Maps will rename Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' and Mount Denali to 'Mount McKinley,' after federal approval. Here's what to know.
