TL;DR Summary

Apple Maps now shows Lake America instead of Lake Ontario for US-based users after a Trump executive order; Canada-based users still see Lake Ontario. Google has made the same change for US users. The US Interior Department must update the official geographic names database (GNIS) within 30 days, as part of the ongoing US-Canada trade dispute and tariffs.
