Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' After Trump Executive Order
Google Maps has updated its mapping service to show 'Lake America' for users in the United States, rather than 'Lake Ontario', following an executive order by former US President Donald Trump. The change is reportedly a result of Trump's 2026 order, which aimed to rebrand the lake with a name more reflective of American identity.
The update affects only US users and has sparked debate over the implications of the change. Some have raised concerns about the potential for confusion or misinformation, while others see it as a symbol of national pride.
