The company said that Maps will reflect any updates to the Geographic Names Information System, a database of more than 1 million geographic features in the United States.

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.

Google said it would rename the body of water to “Gulf of America” after it is updated in the U.S. government system in response to Trump’s executive order.

Google is complying with President Donald Trump’s executive action that renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Soon, the name change will appear on Google Maps.

Google says it will take its cue from the U.S. government if it has to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Denali on its maps.

One of US President Donald Trump’s first actions upon returning to power was ordering the Gulf of Mexico to be renamed. But mapmakers are still largely waiting for the green light.

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

Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and restore Denali in Alaska, the highest peak in North America, to its previous name, Mount McKinley.
