Here is how all online cards handle the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ name change


If you are looking for Card websites for information on the Gulf of Mexico this week in the United States, you will see that, depending on which service you use, the well -known water mass may have a new name – or not.

These search results are an example of the complications arising from the varying policy of technological enterprises to follow President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename the area of ​​the Atlantic as the ‘Gulf of America’.

From Tuesday morning, Google is looking for “Golf of Mexico” an official knowledge panel “Gulf of America” ​​at the top, complete with a tile showing the updated name on Google Maps.

Curious how other online cards react? I searched a little to find out. Google seems to be the first business that starts using the Gulf of America’s name on a major navigation service, but it is unclear whether other programs, such as Apple Maps, will follow. We will keep this list informed, as companies may change their listing for the Gulf of Mexico.

For the time being, Google is the only online card I tested with the name Golf of America. However, the app did not commit to showing only the Trump-ordered name to those in the United States during my tests. When I was zoomed in, Google Maps named it as Golf of America, but as soon as I zoomed out, it switched to the ominous “Gulf of Mexico (Golf of America).
