Google changes name of Gulf of Mexico 

Google will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in its Google Maps app.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week requiring the federal government to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on official maps, a move that could take months to enact.

But Google is readying for the change.

The company has said, after US President Donald Trump ordered that the body of water be renamed in US government documents.

Google also said its US app users would see North America's highest mountain, Mount Denali, revert to its previous name of Mount McKinley, following a separate renaming push from Trump.
