President Donald Trump's executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Denali, the tallest peak in the country, has resulted in lots of discussion. While for some, such renaming might seem less important than the big problems the country faces,
President Donald Trump wants to rename Denali and the Gulf of Mexico to Mount McKinley and Gulf of America, and Google said it would update its maps if it happens.
Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.
Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Denali on its maps for users in the U.S. following President Trump's controversial executive order.
Sheinbaum made the case that Google should not bend to “the mandate of a country” attempting to change the name of an international sea. “For us it is still the Gulf of Mexico, and for the entire world it is still the Gulf of Mexico,” she said.
Google says it will take its cue from the U.S. government if it has to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali on its Maps service
Google said Monday its maps will use names for Denali and the Gulf of Mexico favored by President Donald Trump — Mount McKinley and Gulf of America — when federal maps make the switch.
GNIS stands for Geographic Names Information System. That would require the name ... Outside of the U.S., users will see both the Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America, according to Reuters.
Following Google's decision to comply with US President Trump's order to rename the Gulf of Mexico, Mexican President Claudia, has objected
The controversy follows Google's announcement that it would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Google Maps for US users.
Google Maps will soon rename the "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America" and Denali to "Mount McKinley" in compliance with Trump's order.
