Apple Maps Embraces ‘Gulf of America’ Name Change, Global Rollout Imminent

Following an executive order that renamed the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America,' Apple Maps has updated its app for US users to reflect this change. While the map still displays 'Gulf of Mexico,' tapping on location details shows 'Gulf of America.' This update is part of a larger rollout expected to be applied globally soon, according to Apple. The name change follows local geographic naming standards set by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
