Google Maps will change the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America when the US government officially makes the change

A researcher from Russia’s presidential historical society has proposed renaming the Gulf of Finland to the “Gulf of St. Petersburg,” citing U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as precedent.

Google says it will update its popular maps service to reflect any official name changes US President Donald Trump pushes through. It is part of an established policy but is not always popular.

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.

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