Google Maps changed the name of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America' in response to an executive order from Trump.

Google Maps capitulates to Trump, renaming Lake Ontario Lake America; this follows their previous capitulation, following Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. MapQuest has maintained the names Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico in their app. We have removed the Google Maps apps from our phones and replaced it with the MapQuest app. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-lake-ontario-2677795579/

“Google's Calling Lake Ontario 'Lake America' Now” https://www.404media.co/google-maps-lake-america-lake-ontario-name-change/ Fuck you, Google.

Google caved & renamed The Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. They did what the #MadKing decreed. Now, on August 30, 2026, Google Maps displays the name Lake America when showing Lake Ontario. Google's AI hasn't caught up & still says Lake Ontario. It's digital & malleable, so I expect change is coming. They have decided it's good for their bottom line to appease the King. But Mapquest has refused to change the name, let's increase their profits & use them! https://www.mapquest.com/

Lake Ontario now called Lake America on Google Maps for U.S. users after Trump ordered name change https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/lake-ontario-now-called-lake-america-on-google-maps-for-u-s-users-after-trump-ordered-name-change?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub Posted into Politics @politics-PBSNewsHour

Google Maps now shows Lake Ontario as "Lake America" for U.S. users, after an executive order and a federal name-database update. Canadians still see Lake Ontario, and everyone else sees both names. Meanwhile, Apple Maps hasn't budged, and MapQuest flat-out refused ("We're not changing it"). Sound familiar? Same drill as the Gulf rename, when reviews got so spicy Google shut them off. FYI, your GPS still knows the way. The lake, for its part, declined to comment.
