Have all the Google & Apple maps around the world reflected that change?
Here it says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)"
And it still says "Denali"
Thanks Andy as you're in the UK that's very useful locale information
that your maps, in the UK at least, are showing both naming conventions.
Here, both Apple Maps & Google Maps say only the "Gulf of America".

But you bring up a great point about the fact that in 2015 "Mount McKinley"
was officially changed back to "Denali" by the US Secretary of the Interior
- yet - on January 23, 2025, Trump signed a similar executive order making
the name switch back.
Interesting how one changed and not the other... as I just checked Apple
Maps which shows Mount Denali in Mt. McKinley National Park, Alaska.
If we keep an eye on the delta, we can learn better how the system works.
