‘Lake America’ now shows up across Apple and Google’s navigation apps.

Apple Maps has officially changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, as reported earlier by Bloomberg . The company joins Google in re-labeling the Great Lake following an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in the midst of a trade dispute with Canada.
