Google Maps confirms the Gulf of Mexican renaming, but only for some users

Google responded to President Trump’s recent declaration that the Gulf of Mexico would be renamed the bay.

One of the first things President Trump did, after entering office, was to announce that the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the Gulf Bay, and now Google has announced that it will meet the new Trump name scheme so As the demand conglomerate states that it will abide that it will observe that it will comply with the new Trump name scheme, as the demand conglomerate states that it will observe through official government sources for its entire name, as is the rule in the past S Google went to X where he wrote that he had received many questions about changing name and that there isA long -standing practice of implementing changes in the name when they have been updated in official government sources.“

Moreover, Google explained that he uses the Geographical Name Information System (GNIS) as his source for naming places, which is the official source of the US government for geographical names. Trump’s executive order gives a 30-day deadline for the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to America, along with the renaming of Denali to McKinley Peak. Google states that once the change is submitted to GNIS, the change will be reflected in Google Maps. However, there is a warning.

Google writes that he has also had a long -standing practice to work with both countries that are disagreed with location, and the company does so by showing the official location of the location to map users and then both names of “”Everyone in the rest of the world.“In the case of the Gulf of Mexican renaming, Google writes”This is applied here too“.
