Apple Maps has quietly been updated to change the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" when viewed by U.S. users. This comes a mere day after Google made the same change to its own Maps app.

The Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America on Apple Maps for users in the United States after a mapping database update and further criticism from Republican lawmakers.

Apple Maps changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on its maps Tuesday, one day after Google Maps made the change as well. According to Bloomberg, the change was first made in the U.S. but changes to the map will be made elsewhere soon.
