Google Maps has renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" for users in the United States following a formal name change by the Trump administration.

The update, visible on both web and mobile versions of Google Maps, reflects a decision by the US government to modify the designation of the body of water located between the eastern coast of Mexico and the Florida Panhandle.

Google said it follows the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), a US database of official location names.

The body of water formerly known in the United States as the Gulf of Mexico is now listed for US-based users of Google Maps as the Gulf of America.

Why would this name stroke Trump's ego, exactly, he didn't rename it the Gulf of Trump. More LOSER mindless yapping.

RIP Ryne Sandberg.
