Google Maps has begun changing “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” for users in the United States, following President Trump’s executive order officially renaming the lake. Google says the change is based on the updated U.S. Geographic Names Information System. Users in Canada will continue to see “Lake Ontario,” while users outside the U.S. and Canada will see both names.
