I reported to Google that it is inaccurate. There are no signs indicating Lake America, there are no locals who know it as Lake America and even searching for Lake America on Google Maps shows no results, you have to search for Lake Ontario.
Fucking fascist bootlickers...
Didn't they disable error reporting for the Gulf of Mexico when people did that?
I reported that one too. Least I could do.
Yep, on my way but thanks for the helpful guide. Just with I didn't have an Android phone at this point...
Android phones are still better than Apple phones, but you need to use a non-Google Android.
My Apple maps still says Lake Ontario. Hmmm.
::checks other maps services::
Yee haa! Mapquest for the win! I just got a new default map site.

Google lake Epstein files
How far has google fallen? Reader, in 1996 they were a goddamned miracle. Now? The world is objectively worse off due to their existence.
TL;DR: they became evil
Lol, especially funny because Google's motto quite literally used to be, "Don't be evil." And they apparently even use that phrase in their company code of conduct.
Google removed “Don’t be evil” from the preface of its employee Code of Conduct in May 2018.
they never actually did follow that creed. ever. at the start it was the typical immature startup. hell bent on gaining users and market share at any cost while refining their 'products'. the goal was always sell high or go public. regardless of which path, "evil" always drives the bus.
Fascist little bitches at Google afraid Daddy Trump gonna take a swing at their revenue.
for the US I guess
but now I realise that they added the Gulf of america, so they' probably change it also
Why did they rush so much to publish that, ridiculous
Their insatiable desire for the taste of boots and cock.
Three reasons:
-
They are Cowards
-
They are corrupt, treasonous, racist, misogynist, pedophile MAGAs.
-
Both

I heard it will work the same as Gulf of Mexico.
Americans see Gulf of Mexico as "Gulf of America".
Mexicans see it as "Gulf of Mexico".
Everyone else sees it as "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".
Americans will see Lake Ontario as "Lake America".
Canadians will see it as "Lake Ontario".
Everyone else will see it as "Lake Ontario (Lake America)".

Canada should announce that they've changed the names of all the Great Lakes to Canadian names, like Lake Toronto, and Lake Ottawa. Make sure there's a Lake Saskatchewan, because there is no way Trump can read or pronounce it, so that will really piss him off. Maybe he'll painfully stroke out and croak, and we can all read about it the Big Beautiful Obituary.
Declare the country south of Canada to be South Canada! And North East Canada for that other bit.

What happened to dont be evil?
It was always just a slogan, not something that was going to override the wishes of the shareholders.
Pathetic display of bootlicking, but not at all surprising from Google.
google is garbage
Google is the enemy.
1000%
I wish this fool would stop making my country a laughing stock.
A devastating demonstration of an absence of self-respect. Superior, Huron, America, Michigan, Erie = SHAME.
sychophantic losers
So, can anyone tell me, how much force of law does it carry for the executive branch to unilaterally declare a name change like this?
Seems to me congress has to say this, then the prez would get a veto.
Obviously big biz is just bowing down to the dotard gangster king. But it can't be official, I presume these names will revert to their originals when this dumpster fire burns out, if not before.
Not a lawyer, but as far as I know this is another example of Trump highlighting shortcomings of current law. I believe you’re right that an EO can’t officially (re)name something like Lake Ontario (or the Gulf of Mexico, or Department of Defense). That said, Google, Apple, and Waze can choose to follow the order even though Congress has not passed any legislation addressing the name change either way (and this Congress likely just won’t). Similarly, official DOD correspondence now carries the “Dept. of War” letterhead, even though the name change was never made official by Congress.
TL;DR: The people who are supposed to enforce the laws and the ones supposed to be making them are being very selective on which laws mean anything.
I sure hope the next Democratic President does at least half of what this asshat does. Since before they always claimed they didn't have the power.
Now they need to follow donnie's example, but for the benefit of the country instead.
It's google standing policy rather than law forcing them. "Eager to avoid political friction" by using names from US GIS for US geolocated queries. Eager to amplify political friction under policy cover of whatever dotard master imposes on America/world is more accurate.

Just confirmed and uninstalled it.
Still says Lake Ontario for me in Google Maps.
Google Maps in Canada has retained the proper Lake Ontario name (so far).
It's not even the proper name. It's the only name. The same name it's had for hundreds of years.
A stupid, non-binding document signed by a sad piss-stained 80 year old doesn't mean shit.
That’s what I mean by proper name, yeah. Nobody with half a brain cares what a senile, neon orange, pants-shitting, incompetent, disgusting human piece of garbage says.
Simps
Showing as Lake Ontario from Canadian ISP.
Yeah, that's the plan. They'll show the right name to Canadians, the ridiculous name to Americans, and both to people in other countries.
