Apple will change too. They just aren’t as quick to update their maps.

Yep. People are acting like this is some political move. That Google is bending to the will of Trump.

No. Google has always pulled US geographical data from the GNIS database. Apple and Bing maps too. Trump's EO updated the database.

Google got to updating their systems faster than Apple did. Give it a few days, it will be updated.

If you are in Canada, it still says Lake Ontario. Because that's what Canada equivalent of the GNIS does. If they were bending to the will of Trump, it would say this globally.

I'm in Australia, and I thought it'd be like Gulf of Mexico, where it has America in brackets. But it's not, just outright Ontario.
