Fucking boo.
Also, and this is weird, mine shows Lake America at one level of zoom, then changes back to Lake Ontario, and then changes to Lake America all over again at an even closer level of zoom. Everything is ridiculous and awful.
What a bunch of MAGA losers.
If you go to the USGS map, you see a banner that says
Per Secretarial Order 3453, Lake Ontario has been renamed to Lake America. The basemaps for this application are in the process of being
Presumably the sentence finishes if you aren’t on mobile. Secretarial Order 3453 points you to Executive Order 14420, which is Delivering Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations for Americans. I’m starting to think we don’t have the best and brightest leading the country, you guys.
Still Ontario from Canada
German Google Maps:
Lake Ontario is still Lake Ontario.
Google has shown local variations to borders etc. for… decades? They do not define them, after all.
Apple still lists the lake as Ontario on their maps, so for now it’s just Google being particularly sycophantic towards the Trump administration.
Apple well change it though, they did for the Gulf of Mexico.
Really Bud?Just because a boot liker calls something by a name, does not make it so, if anything, when you hear someone say “THe guLf of aMericA” you know on the spot, you don’t loose anything by stopping the conversation right there and then.
Something like this happened in the recent past and now Mexicans are starting to call it the Rio Grande instead of the Rio Bravo
Its no longer wild or grand.
the point is that the side with more money or influence always ends up winning these culture battles eventually.
If google maps is unable to properly label the names of cities, lakes, etc, then it shouldn’t be allowed to operate.
Block google maps in Canada, problem solved
Incredible that anyone wants to work for such Pscho corporations. They must be incredibly ignorant outside their job-function - I hope…
I didn’t believe you so I checked and yep, they actually fucking did it.
That was fast
Humanity has a clear version of evil and has failed to deal with it. Humanity is pathetic.
Some of us are dealing with it, but since it was another country who’s people democratically elected evil all we can do is boycott. Unfortunately, the people in that country can’t be bothered to even do that; all they can manage is to wave some signs around on the occasional weekend.
Other search engines exist
What’s interesting is I’m in Canada and it shows both the America waterways. It’s only a trump idiot decree and not the rest of the worlds. Fail googly
Well good, about time they put warnings on maps. Above is the lake, below is america. You have been warned.
