Weve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps.
Mexico, as well as other countries and international bodies, do not have to recognize the name change.
The AP will switch to referring to Denali as Mount McKinley.
Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names.
That applies here too.
Apple has not publicly commented on the name change for the Gulf of Mexico.
It cannot apply to the rest, in this case, the Gulf of Mexico.
This is what we explained in detail to Google.
