Apple changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on its maps
On Tuesday, Apple changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on its maps. This action was taken after Donald Trump, the President of the United States, issued an order to change the name of this gulf, and the United States Board on Geographic Names approved it.
Apple had previously announced on Sunday that it had begun the process of changing the name of this gulf.
Based on this change, users in the United States will see the name Gulf of America on the map, but in Mexico, the name Gulf of Mexico will still be displayed. Users in other countries will see both names.
Google also announced last month that it would implement this change following the official update.
The company had previously stated that it would only implement changes if the United States government updated the official names in its geographic list. However, in recent days, this change has been implemented, and American users on Google Maps are seeing this gulf as the Gulf of America.
