美国总统特朗普上任后颁布行政命令,将墨西哥湾更名为“美洲湾”,并恢复麦金利山的旧名“德纳利”。谷歌地图迅速响应,在美国境内将墨西哥湾更名为“美洲湾”,国际用户则同时显示两个名称,墨西哥用户则维持原名。这一举动引发了墨西哥总统的质疑,并凸显了谷歌地图在处理国家间命名差异时的政策,即遵从用户所在地的政府。而苹果地图尚未对此做出改变。谷歌和苹果公司都曾向特朗普的就职典礼捐款,这使得此次更名事件更具争议性。

💰 谷歌CEO Sundar Pichai和苹果CEO Tim Cook都曾向特朗普的就职典礼捐款,谷歌更名举动,可能受到了政治献金的影响。

🍎 苹果地图尚未对此做出改变,搜索“美洲湾”无结果,与谷歌形成对比,暗示两家公司在政治立场上的差异。

Google Maps officially updated the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Monday.

Among many other executive orders, President Donald Trump decreed on the day of his inauguration that the Gulf of Mexico would be renamed the Gulf of America. This executive order also reverses an Obama-era move to rename Mount McKinley to Denali, the name that Indigenous people have used for centuries. Similarly, the name Gulf of Mexico has been the most prevalent name for the body of water since the 16th century.

The president stated that these names are part of a gesture toward “[restoring] American pride in the history of American greatness.”

As of Monday afternoon, Google Maps users in the United States will see the Gulf of Mexico’s name changed to be the Gulf of America. International users will see both names, while Mexican users will only see the Gulf of Mexico. Google already stated in January that it would comply with Trump’s executive order once the place names were updated in the United States’ Geographic Names Information System.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would send a letter to Google questioning the company’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico on Google Maps. But Google’s decision to change the name of the gulf is consistent with its existing policies around how to navigate naming differences between countries. Google changes Maps to align with the user’s local government.

While Google has complied with Trump’s order, Apple has not yet updated the name of the Gulf of Mexico or Denali on its Maps app. When searching “Gulf of America” on Apple Maps, the app did not yield any results.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook both attended Trump’s inauguration; Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, while Google also made a $1 million contribution.
