If you search map websites for information about the Gulf of Mexico this week in the United States, you will see that, depending on which service you use, the familiar body of water might have a new name—or not.
These search results exemplify the complications stemming from technology companies’ varying policies for following President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename that area of the Atlantic ocean as the “Gulf of America.”
As of Tuesday morning, Google searches for “Gulf of Mexico” will return an official “Gulf of America” knowledge panel at the top, complete with a tile showing the updated name on Google Maps.
Curious how other online maps are reacting? I did some searching to find out. Google appears to be the first company to start using the Gulf of America name on a major navigation service, but it’s unclear whether other apps, such as Apple Maps, will follow suit. We will keep this list updated as companies potentially change their listing for the Gulf of Mexico.

Not only does Microsoft’s Bing Maps still list that area of the ocean as the Gulf of Mexico, it even repeats itself by naming the Gulf of Mexico twice.
Google Maps

For now, Google is the only online map I tested showing the Gulf of America name. Though, the app didn’t fully commit to showing only the Trump-ordered name to those in the United States during my tests. When I was zoomed in, Google Maps listed it as Gulf of America, but as soon as I zoomed out further it switched to the nebulously phrased “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).”
