google maps New Zealand
Smallest of the 5 great lakes π
Also, it's very definitely not Superior.
Lac infΓ©rieure
Better than Lake Erie, grossest if the 5 Great Lakes.
Why would it be changed for New Zealand?
Edit - Ah wait, that's a point of interest and not the map label.
that is the result from typing 'lake ontario' into google maps (not signed in) on a browser
this is what shows on a mouseover
I still have Ontario on desktop and the wifes android down here
My screenshots are taken while not logged into google, opening google maps n a browser, and typing in 'lake ontario'. not being logged in might make a difference for some reason? the nz one is via a vpn (which is definitely working)
How about for the other one? (shows the same for aus and nz for me)
I have Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of Authoritarian)
