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

Google announced that it was planning to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Denali in its Google Maps service, following President Donald Trump’s executive order last week officially renaming the geographical features to the “Gulf of America” and “Mount McKinley.

Google said it would follow the Trump administration in renaming the Gulf of Mexico once the new name is updated in government sources.

The Associated Press, which provides news around the world to multiple audiences, will refer to the Gulf of Mexico by its original name, which it has carried for 400 years, while acknowledging the name Gulf of America.

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.

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 on Monday said 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 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.

Google says it has a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.

Google Maps has announced it will update its platform to reflect President Trump’s decision to rename two iconic geographic features — the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali. The pair will soon appear on the platform as the “Gulf of America” and “Mount McKinley,” respectively.
