MapQuest's service has also refused to change the Gulf of Mexico's name, despite Trump's executive order last month to rename it as the 'Gulf of America.'

Not a fan of the "Gulf of America?" MapQuest is poking fun at President Trump’s executive order to rename the body of water by releasing a new site that lets you rebrand it however you’d like.

The Name your own gulf site is designed to do just that: Plug in the desired term, and MapQuest will generate a map with the title emblazoned on the body of water. Users can also download the map as an image and share it on social media.

MapQuest introduced the feature last week after Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Bing Maps modified their services to reflect the Gulf of America name for users in the US. The companies say they follow the naming conventions from the US Geographic Names Information System.

Here is the site:
