Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America
Apple Renomance The Gulf of Mexico in the Gulf of America in its Maps application. The company began to deploy the name change for American users this afternoon, And Bloomberg reports that it will soon display the name of users worldwide too.
Google Maps started to display The “Gulf of America” for users in the United States on Monday. President Donald Trump signed an executive decree for the change of name in January, and the change has entered the Federal Data Database, the geographic name information system this week.
Unlike Apple, Google Maps displays different names depending on the location of a user. Mexico users will continue to see the labeled water body like the “Gulf of Mexico” and users of other countries will see the “Gulf of Mexico” alongside “Gulf of America” in parentheses. Other mapping applications, such as Microsoft from Bing and Mapquest, continue to show the Gulf of Mexico.
Apple currently offers its application of cards on the iPhone, iPad, Mac and in beta on the web. The penis contacted Apple with a request for more information on change but did not immediately hear.
