Apple Is Renaming Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on Maps App

Apple Inc. is renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on its Maps app, following an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump on his first day in office.

The change comes after the US government updated its official map to reflect the new name. Alphabet Inc.’s Google made a similar update to its Google Maps app earlier this week. Microsoft Corp.’s Bing Maps and MapQuest Inc., meanwhile, have yet to rename the gulf, according to checks of their maps offerings on Tuesday.
