Google Maps has started displaying 'Lake America' for users within the United States, following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump. The name change from Lake Ontario to Lake America occurred on August 27, 2026, amid escalating trade tensions with Canada.

The update is based on official government sources like the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and Google's global policy for disputed or multi-named bodies of water.

Outside the U.S. and Canada, users will see both names displayed simultaneously, with 'Lake America' appearing in brackets or parentheses.
