Google faced blowback on social media Monday after it announced it would comply with President Donald Trump ’s executive order and ― on its Google Maps service ― rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and revert to referring to Alaska’s Denali as Mount McKinley.

A common sentiment in Alaska is that while President Donald Trump has ordered the name of North America’s tallest peak to be changed from Denali to McKinley, Alaskans will call it what they want. And popular consensus seems to favor Denali.

The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

This comes after President Trump signed an executive order on Inauguration Day that ordered the name Mt. McKinley be reinstated and the Gulf of Mexico be renamed.

The tech company said Monday it has a “longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”
