Apple Maps renames Lake Ontario as Lake America after Trump order

Americas 3 sources 3 countries 🔦 Under-reported 1m ago

Apple has updated its Maps application to label Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' for users outside of Canada. While Canadian users will continue to see the original name, international users will now see both 'Lake Ontario' and 'Lake America' displayed on the map interface. This modification follows a similar naming convention previously applied by the company to the Gulf of Mexico, which was renamed the 'Gulf of America' in the application.

The change aligns with a directive issued by President Donald Trump regarding the renaming of geographical features. The update marks the second instance of a major United States-based technology firm adjusting its digital mapping services to comply with the administration's recent executive order.
