Google Maps now displays the Gulf of America
Google Maps now shows the “Gulf of America” in place of the “Gulf of Mexico” for users on both web and mobile in the United States. It made the change after the Trump administration formally changed the name today of the body of water spanning between the eastern coast of Mexico and Florida. Google says it follows the GNIS, or Geographic Names Information System, a US database of location information. Source: The Verge
