Google, Apple, and Bing Maps have changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America as per an executive order from President Trump. However, MapQuest has not updated its map to reflect this change. In response to Trump’s order, MapQuest is allowing online users to rename the gulf to whatever they want. This move appears to be a form of satire directed at the president’s decision.
The renaming of the gulf has received mixed reactions, with some U.S. citizens welcoming the change while others, including Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, have expressed displeasure. Google cited a practice of adhering to official government names as the reason for updating the map to show the Gulf of America. On the other hand, MapQuest has chosen not to update its map due to lack of knowledge on how to do so.
MapQuest has created a website where users can rename the gulf themselves, with options ranging from humorous to political. The company’s decision has sparked creativity among online users who have come up with a variety of names for the gulf. MapQuest is a free online mapping and navigation service that was launched in 1996, allowing users to receive step-by-step directions to their destinations. The company’s app is available for both Apple iPhone and Google Android users.
