Google Maps has changed the Gulf of Mexico's name to the Gulf of America for people using the app in the US.
Explaining the move, Google said it was making the change as part of a longstanding practice of following name changes when updated by official government sources.
It said the Gulf - bordered by the US, Cuba and Mexico - would not be changed for people using the app in Mexico, and users elsewhere in the world will see the label: Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).
It comes after President Donald Trump ordered the body of water to be renamed in US government documents after he returned to office last month.
