On his first day in office, Trump issued an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali, stating that the “naming of our national treasures, including breathtaking natural wonders and historic works of art, should honor the contributions of visionary and patriotic Americans in our Nation’s rich past.”
Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.

Google said it would follow the Trump administration in renaming the Gulf of Mexico once the new name is updated in government sources.
Google is planning to update Google Maps to show the Gulf of America, after President Trump's executive order which renames the Gulf of Mexico. Here's when that will happen.
Google will show Gulf of Mexico as "Gulf of America" and Alaska's Denali as "Mount McKinley" in the United States once the U.S. government has officially updated to the U.S. Geographic Names Information System.
Trump signed an executive order the day of his inauguration, saying the gulf was “ours” and that it should be renamed alongside the tallest peak in North America. The order moved to rename Denali in Alaska — which has been known as such since 2015 — back to Mount McKinley. Denali is the peak’s Alaska Native name.
Google said only users in the U.S. will see the change, adding that the name "Gulf of Mexico" will remain displayed for users in Mexico.
The tech company said Monday it has a “longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”
President Donald Trump's executive order renames the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" and Alaska's Denali back to Mount McKinley. Google Maps will update its naming conventions following official government sources.
