Apple Maps has renamed Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' on its mapping platform, following a similar move by Google Maps, after an order from President Trump. The change reflects a broader push by the administration to rename geographic features, echoing its earlier renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. The move has drawn attention for altering the name of one of the Great Lakes, which straddles the US-Canada border, adding a symbolic dimension amid already strained US-Canada relations. Neither company has detailed the process for implementing the change or addressed potential confusion for users.
