Apple is again considering bringing advertisements to Apple Maps, as it is looking into more ways to monetize its mapping platform

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.

Under Trump's executive order, Google Maps has adopted "Gulf of America." Apple Maps is drawing mixed reactions for sticking with "Gulf of Mexico."

The Gulf of Mexico will now appear as the Gulf of America for U.S. users of Apple Maps, Bing Maps and Google Maps.

Apple is exploring ways to monetize its Maps app, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. In a recent report, Gurman details how Apple is looking to expand advertising across its services, with sources pointing to an all-hands meeting where the Maps team discussed potential strategies.

Apple may soon plan to monetize Apple Maps. According to a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is working on the idea of showing ads in Apple Maps, although this is not the first time Apple has planned to take such a step.
