Lake Ontario Gets an American Alias on Apple Maps

Apple Maps now labels Lake Ontario as "Lake America" for U.S. users, a move Google Maps previously began, amid Trump-era naming orders. Canada and most of the world continue to show Lake Ontario, with Google/Apple presenting the alternate naming in the U.S. while officials note private companies aren’t legally bound to the order. The US GNIS has renamed the lake at the federal level, though local jurisdictions and states vary in practice.
