The U.S. Department of the Interior has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, acknowledging the shared coastline between Mexico and the U.S. Google Maps will adopt this new name, but in Mexico, it will remain the Gulf of Mexico. Outside North America, both names—Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America—will be displayed. This decision follows other name changes, such as the renaming of Denali (formerly Mount McKinley), and reflects the evolving dynamics of geographic naming in the region.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced that the name of the Gulf of Mexico has been changed. Shortly after, Google shared their decision. This information was reported by German media outlet Deutsche Welle.
