The tech giant revealed the reasons behind the proposed changes on social media after receiving questions from users.

Google Maps will rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Mount McKinley to Mount Denali following President Trump's executive order last week. The name change will occur once the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated,

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.

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.

The U.S. government is already working to remove all mentions of the Gulf of Mexico name in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).

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.

President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum says her country is reaching out to Google about its Maps change and is suggesting additional revisions of its own.

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.

The company said Monday that it will only make changes when the government updates its official listings for the body of water and the mountain.
