President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" and Denali as "Mount McKinley" Despite this, Google Maps and Apple Maps have not yet been updated to reflect these new names.

Neither Apple nor Google Maps appear to have updated their popular map services to reflect the government's stance.

President McKinley was the third sitting U.S. president to be assassinated, dying in 1901 .

The highest mountain in North America , Denali , will now be called Mount McKinley once more.

Obama restored the mountain's original name in 2015 after Obama restored it to Denali .
