Apple Maps plans to show ‘Gulf of America,’ following Google

Apple Maps will soon rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, following similar changes made by Google this week, in order to comply with U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order that officially changed the name.

U.S.-based Apple users may see the “Gulf of America” as soon as Tuesday, according to Bloomberg, and the company will soon roll out the name to users in other countries.
