Google Maps recently changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America after the US government updated the information in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Apple Maps is also preparing to make the same change.
According to reports, Apple Maps has already displayed the name Gulf of America for users in America and will soon update the name for users worldwide.
This move sets Apple Maps apart from Google Maps, which typically shows two names to users, except for Mexico, which will continue to display the name Gulf of Mexico.
