We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources,&#8221; wrote Google in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsFromGoogle\/status\/1884012872768053467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">social media post<\/a> Monday. Their policy is to implement title changes for geographic features in the U.S. after the adjustments appear in the Geographic Names Information System.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When that happens, we will update Google Maps in the U.S. quickly to show Mount McKinley and Gulf of America,&#8221; the tech company said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-twitter-tweet embed--float-none embed--size-medium lazyload\" data-require=\"third-party\/twitter-widgets\">\n<div class=\"embed__content-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Also longstanding practice: When official names vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name.

When a place&#8217;s title varies between countries, users will see the official name used by the country where they&#8217;re accessing Maps. Everyone elsewhere in the world sees both names.<\/p>\n<p>The Interior Department announced Friday that the Gulf of Mexico had been renamed the Gulf of America, and Denali had, again, been renamed Mount McKinley, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-rename-gulf-of-mexico-denali\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">in response to a directive<\/a><\/span> signed by Mr. Trump shortly after he took office.<\/p>\n<p>In a news release, the agency said the changes &#8220;reaffirm the Nation&#8217;s commitment to preserving the extraordinary heritage of the United States and ensuring that future generations of Americans celebrate the legacy of its heroes and historic assets.&#8221; The U.S. Board on Geographic Names was set to begin updating &#8220;the official federal nomenclature in the Geographic Names Information System to reflect these changes, effective immediately for federal use,&#8221; the department added.<\/p>\n<p>Although the federal government will formally reference both the Gulf and the mountain by their new names \u2014 in government documents and official U.S. maps, for example \u2014 other nations are not required recognize them. The Associated Press, whose style guidance many news organizations typically follow, said it will call the Gulf of Mexico by its original name while acknowledging the name Gulf of America. The AP will also refer to Mount McKinley as Denali, since Mr. Trump&#8217;s position gives him authority to alter geographical names of places inside the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Gulf of Mexico first appeared on a world map roughly 400 years ago, as Mexico&#8217;s President Claudia Sheinbaum pointed out <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mexico-president-trolls-trump-us-should-be-renamed-mexican-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">during a briefing earlier this month<\/a><\/span> where she derided what was at the time Mr. Trump&#8217;s proposal to rename the ocean basin that shares near-equal lengths of coastline with her country and the U.S. Citing one of Mexico&#8217;s founding documents that dates to the early 1800s and preceded the nation&#8217;s constitution, Sheinbaum sarcastically suggested renaming North America &#8220;Am\u00e9rica Mexicana,&#8221; which translates to &#8220;Mexican America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Denali&#8217;s name comes from the Koyukon Indigenous residents of Alaska who are native to area around the mountain. Subject to dispute over the decades, the U.S. designated it Mount McKinley in the early 1900s to commemorate a slain president. The name was changed formally to Denali by former President Barack Obama during his administration.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/emily-mae-czachor\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Emily Mae Czachor<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Emily Mae Czachor is a reporter and news editor at CBSNews.com.
