Trumps’s order affects the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which sets the standards for official U.S. maps.
Google Maps has changed the name of “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” for U.S. users to reflect President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the lake, according to a Google statement.
Trump announced on Thursday that he was changing the name of the smallest of the five Great Lakes, part of an escalating trade feud with Canada that has prompted the two countries to impose reciprocal tariffs on billions of dollars in goods.
The president’s order affects the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), which sets the standards for official U.S. maps. It does not have any impact on Canadian naming conventions or how the rest of the world refers to the lake.
Yet another reason to switch to OSMAnd (OpenStreetMaps).
I wonder what it feels like to wield enough power to force a 4.22 trillion dollar company to bend the knee?
Keep sucking that orange shriveled pecker, Pichai. We see you.
Fucking cowards.
OpenStreetMap still showing Lake Ontario.
Maybe it’s time to get rid of all my google apps.
Dear America,
You are literally living in the western version of North Korea. So maybe do something.
