Google Maps has faced backlash after renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' at the request of US President Donald Trump. This move comes months after the company changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America'. The decision has been met with criticism from users, who have taken to social media to express their disapproval.

'Hey you gave one of the Great Lakes the wrong name; pretty embarrassing mistake so you might want to fix that,' wrote one user on X. This sentiment reflects a growing trend of dissatisfaction among those who feel that Google Maps is prioritizing politics over accuracy and respect for geographic names.
