Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario to Lake America for U.S. Users
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Google Maps has changed the name of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' for users in the United States, following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump amid escalating trade tensions with Canada. This name change will only be visible to U.S. users, while Canadian users will continue to see 'Lake Ontario.' For users outside the U.S. and Canada, the lake will appear as 'Lake Ontario (Lake America).' Google stated that this update reflects changes in official government sources, specifically the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). A similar change was made for the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year.
