    Google was a little quick on this one. Not even a day and they changed it for Americans.

    They’re also absolutely cowardly - the rest of the world hate Trump and they know it because they’re even too spineless to commit to putting it on everyone’s Map.

    Apple Maps hasn’t fallen to the Mad King’s whims yet but I assume they will, as they did with the Gulf of Mexico. I’m hoping Apple’s new CEO has more of a spine than Tim Cuck. I mean Cook. (Aka “Tim Apple”)

    Just use some OSM provider or Mapy.com. Both are great options.

      Are you viewing this from America? Because Google changes the names of things based on the country you are in.

        I’m in the USA and GoogleMaps shows Lake America right now.

        Apple Maps shows Lake Ontario

    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
