In a significant change initiated by a recent executive order, the Gulf of Mexico has officially been renamed the Gulf of America. This name change has been adopted by major mapping services including Google Maps and Apple Maps, with the designation now visible to users in the United States. The move has sparked a wave of reactions online, as many users express confusion and frustration over the new title. Despite the change, maps outside the U.S. continue to reference it as the Gulf of Mexico. The renaming has led to discussions regarding its implications, with some legislation proposed to formalize the name across various state statutes. Critics argue that the name change may not hold lasting significance beyond the current administration.
