Google said it would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” for its Google Maps users in the United States to stay in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order making the switch.

Google said its maps will update when the Geographic Names Information System, a government database of names and location data, makes the change.
