Tech Giants Controversially Rename the Gulf of America.

President Trump ordered a name change for the Gulf of Mexico. The new name is the Gulf of America.

The U.S. Geographic Names Information System made the change official. This means companies like Apple and Microsoft changed their maps to use the new name.

Google also made the change, but it depends on where you are. People in the U.S. see Gulf of America, while people in Mexico see Gulf of Mexico.

Other countries will see both names on Google Maps. This is to avoid confusion.

The Associated Press will keep using the old name, Gulf of Mexico. They say they've used this name for 400 years and will continue to do so.
