Lake Ontario Renamed by Tech Giants | Tech News
Description
Apple Maps just started calling Lake Ontario “Lake America” for U.S. users — following a presidential order that’s also pushed Google Maps to make the same change.

Their app has rocketed to 1 in the U.S. App Store, beating out apps like ChatGPT, as users rally behind the defiant legacy map service.
