Google Maps Shows 'Lake America' to U.S. Users After Trump's Renaming Order

Google Maps now displays "Lake America" instead of "Lake Ontario" for U.S. users, following an August 27 Trump executive order directing the GNIS — the federal database of place names — to make the change. Users outside the U.S. still see "Lake Ontario." Google's policy is to defer to each country's official naming authority, so Canada's label remains unchanged.
