The tech giant revealed the reasons behind the proposed changes on social media after receiving questions from users.

Google announced that it was planning to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Denali in its Google Maps service, following President Donald Trump’s executive order last week officially renaming the geographical features to the “Gulf of America” and “Mount McKinley.

While the Gulf of America will be applied to federal references, other nations will not be required to recognize the name.

The Department of the Interior says they're moving quickly to implement President Donald Trump's executive order to rename Mount Denali and the Gulf of Mexico.

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.

This comes after President Trump signed an executive order on Inauguration Day that ordered the name Mt. McKinley be reinstated and the Gulf of Mexico be renamed.

President Donald Trump wants to rename Denali and the Gulf of Mexico to Mount McKinley and Gulf of America, and Google said it would update its maps if it happens.

The company said Monday that it will only make changes when the government updates its official listings for the body of water and the mountain.

Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's Denali on its maps for users in the U.S. following President Trump's controversial executive order.

Google says it has a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.

Google on Monday said its maps will use names for Denali and the Gulf of Mexico favored by President Donald Trump — Mount McKinley and Gulf of America — when federal maps make the switch.
