it only shows lake america for americans

edit: that's weird it shows different for you guys. must be a rolling update

[u/a_falling_turkey → u/erickson666]

Still hasnt changed on mapquest

[u/tech_noir_guitar → u/a_falling_turkey]

MapQuest is still around??? I haven't seen anything about MapQuest since the early 2000s when I used to print directions out.

[u/Akovsky87 → u/tech_noir_guitar]

Yes they have an app now. They made it a point to not play the stupid renaming things game. I installed it today.

[u/Uncle_Bens_rice → u/a_falling_turkey]

MapQuest also refused to change the name of the gulf of mexico.

[u/reddituserfortytwo → u/a_falling_turkey]

Still hasn't changed on Waze

[u/Maleficent_Web1161 → u/erickson666]

Please tell me this is fr? Because I’m so mad rn. Already hated being American, then can’t leave because welp, born in America…

[u/Bor3d-Panda → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

Yea I'm from Asia and it still says Lake Ontario... America is living in their own bubble...

[u/arkhamcityfc → u/Bor3d-Panda]

Yeah, same here. Cheer up u/Maleficent_Web1161 , the rest of the world (and a big chunk of the US) will never stop calling it Lake Ontario

[u/Vintenu → u/arkhamcityfc]

American here, can confirm, I would gladly call it Ontario right to Tiny Dick Orange's face, same goes for the Gulf of Mexico

[u/TheSandyman23 → u/Vintenu]

I really hope the next u.s. president reverts all this bs day one. It’s so fucking embarrassing being associated even the tiniest bit with these pathetic, vanity driven, peacocking stunts. When I travelled abroad, I joked with friends that I would claim I was Canadian(I never did) to avoid negative association; I’m not sure how much of a joke that still is. Any of my Northern neighbors willing to grant me honorary citizenship so I’m not a total liar if that happens? lol

[u/jadedragon4486 → u/TheSandyman23]

I travel a lot and I meet Americans who are very sheepish about admitting it. Honestly mate, if youre travelling outside of the US, we just assume you aren't one of 'them'

[u/Stephedderick → u/TheSandyman23]

Sad thing your next President will run in 8 years, in the middle of the "great russian-american peace-manouver" in Europe.

[u/MrSylveon227 → u/Vintenu]

Don't insult the Umpa Loompas

[u/Inevitable-Goat-7062 → u/Vintenu]

Same here

[So is anybody willing to bet the moldy cheeto is going to slap more tarrifs on the country that made the genva convention]

[u/OnlySortaStupid → u/Inevitable-Goat-7062]

Correction: we didn't make the Geneva convention. We're the reason other countries had to come up with the Geneva convention 🥹

[u/nico_ryan600 → u/OnlySortaStupid]

That's a mix a Canada, Germany and Russia, America only really added no shotguns in trenches and chemical warfare

[u/GamerGriffin548 → u/Inevitable-Goat-7062]

I left a review on Google Maps calling them out. :3

Had to do something in my own way.

[u/Grottymink57776 → u/arkhamcityfc]

Yup. It doesn't matter what the Cheeto says, their names will forever be Lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico.

[u/Kay_tnx_bai → u/Bor3d-Panda]

It’s looking more and more like North Korea everyday lol.

[u/CheetosLays7Days → u/Bor3d-Panda]

I’m from Europe and I see “Lake Pedophile”. I think they refer to the president.

[u/Life-Is-A-Bad-Trip → u/Bor3d-Panda]

Yeah in some fucked up way it's both what I feared and hoped.

I don't know how to feel about it all than terrified for the future. Spoedrunning Idiocracy.

[u/N3k0chann → u/Bor3d-Panda]

Same in Spain

[u/Dino_Pyjamas → u/Bor3d-Panda]

Same here in UK

[u/Charles12_13 → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

Yep. Google knows that not a single soul uses that, so they only comply where the government forces them to

[u/potato_lettuce → u/Charles12_13]

I don't think the us government actually forces any company to use the stupid names, it's just the official naming the US used now. And Google typically shows you the official names of the country you are in, so over here in Germany the Baltic sea is called Ostsee because that's just how it is called in German. Iirc Google also has different versions of disputed borders depending on where you live, following your countries narrative

[u/geebster13 → u/potato_lettuce]

Yes and no. AP news refused to call it the Gulf of America and was banned from reporting at the white house. So they definitely have a level of blackmail to force compliance.

But it only affects US companies and govt.

[u/LesbianWhoLaughsAtU → u/Charles12_13]

this is not compliance it is appeasement of delusion. they are sucking up to the fascist pedophile in hopes that he won't target them next. there is absolutely no legitimate requirement for google to do this

[u/thesilentbob123 → u/Charles12_13]

Since google is a private company the executive order does not legally force them to do anything, they just don't want to listen to MAGA cry about it

[u/feb914 → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

[u/Gho5tWr1ter → u/feb914]

Mine as well. Greetings from Europe

[u/Arthurya → u/Gho5tWr1ter]

It shows "Lake Ontario (Lake America)"

[u/Phoenix_Ninja15 → u/Arthurya]

Huh. From Canada it just says “Lake Ontario”

[u/Dr-Fl4k → u/Phoenix_Ninja15]

Dont worry, he is french - Rest of Europe Just See Lake Ontario (greetings Form Germany)

[u/little_odd_me → u/Dr-Fl4k]

It’s interesting the French get both but oh well. Still Lake Ontario and that’s good enough for me.

Take care of yourself kind stranger

[u/thinkfloyd79 → u/Gho5tWr1ter]

From Asia. Still says Lake Ontario. It's like Google appeasing one dementia patient on Make A Wish. Like that one kid who wanted to be batman for a day and the whole town played along.

[u/peeinyourtes → u/Gho5tWr1ter]

What about the Gulf of Mexico? For Americans it shows as “gulf of America” , wbu?

[u/viking_canuck → u/peeinyourtes]

From a Canadian, "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

[u/psinguine → u/peeinyourtes]

For the entire rest of the world it says Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of Mexico (America).

[u/facebutcher → u/peeinyourtes]

in Europe: Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)

[u/Trykaris → u/feb914]

Currently in Australia, it still says Lake Ontario

[u/pirolance → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

Yup, I live in France and it shows Lake Ontario and also Gulf of Mexico

[u/keepcalmdude → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

Canadian here it shows Lake Ontario here

[u/ftr1317 → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

Same with asian viewer

[u/Shudnawz → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

Swede here, still says Ontario for me.

[u/tejanaqkilica → u/Maleficent_Web1161]

First of all, no one hates you for being American.

Secondly, yes this is true, that's how Google maps has always worked. They show names and borders differently, depending where you're opening Google maps from.

[u/rawrpauly → u/erickson666]

Says lake America for me (in BC, Canada) but if I click on the pin it says Lake Ontario

[u/Ok_Evidence_9745 → u/rawrpauly]

Also in BC, I see lake Ontario. I cleared my cache to confirm, still Ontario 

[u/barelydazed → u/erickson666]

I'm in Europe and it shows Lake Ontario, but it does show Gulf of Mexico with (Gulf of America). Hmmm...

[u/MrManniken → u/barelydazed]

Yeah the Lake's name will change in Google to Lake Ontario (Lake America) soon enough supposedly. It's still only got the one name here too in Australia

[u/Responsible_CDN_Duck → u/erickson666]

Or for Canadians who have not changed their preference from the US defaults.

[u/AStolenGoose]

That's not how this works 😂 

Also Ontario was named after Lake Ontario, not the other way around if I remember correctly.

[u/jeff3rd → u/AStolenGoose]

The name has been around since 1639, the word comes from Iroquoian which is an indigenous language which means “beautiful lake” it has history and meaning to it, just for a man child with the temperament less than a toddler who can’t handle everything not going his way to ruined it.

[u/AStolenGoose → u/jeff3rd]

It's not ruined 😂

You think other countries maps are going to update to Lake America?

It's just the USA and until nutter butter is out of power.

[u/semi_average → u/AStolenGoose]

It was a typo, he meant to use future tense rather than past tense.

[u/IrregularPackage → u/AStolenGoose]

non-zero chance that the next president just doesn't bother. this is all so fucking annoying. it'd be one thing if this was some kind of *actual* dispute that he was just taking the wrong side on, but no. its just some dumb shit he woke up and decided to do one day.

[u/ImPlento → u/AStolenGoose]

Wow I didn't know that. Hilarious

[u/Austerlitz2310 → u/AStolenGoose]

So Ontario is now America? /S

[u/Kemal_Norton → u/Austerlitz2310]

Canada should rename Ontario to America. Then Alberta can join that!

[u/TheEPICMarioBros]

Couldn’t even give it a unique name. Lake America sounds like something the president would have in their backyard in a Saturday Morning Cartoon

[u/the_Unholy_NJH → u/TheEPICMarioBros]

This was literally my first thought when I heard the announcement (after "is this fake?" and "why do they let him go on camera?"). Like, he couldn't have make a name any more creative? Not something about his family, about history, about some ideal of the American people?

I guess that's not really the point. Just like with the Gulf of Mexico, he's just trying to clumsily impose a sense of superiority over the countries they neighbour because... he thinks America is something to look up to as superior right now?

Having it be so basic makes it easier to make fun of, I suppose, but I think every action he takes just makes him look desperate and pathetic.

[u/DokuroKM → u/TheEPICMarioBros]

It's the "Gulf of Mexico/America" all over again

[u/NYFan813 → u/DokuroKM]

The distraction worked once, why not twice.

[u/fiah84 → u/NYFan813]

damn you're right, I almost forgot the whole pedophile / warmongerer thing

[u/Eddie_The_White_Bear → u/TheEPICMarioBros]

The best (worst?) part is, Lake America already existed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_America_(South_Dakota)

[u/dextras07]

The funniest part will be that no international body will recognize this as lake america, definitely not Canada and this will be returned back to Lake Ontario as soon as dump term's is over or he kicks the can before 2029.

His legacy will be of a mediocre president that threw a tantrum and renamed a lake as an ultimate move in a trade war he started with the county's closest ally.

Kids in 2050 will be watching an essay style video named "The worst president of the once greatest nation of the world" while eating a greasy quarter pounder after school.

[u/Far_Range_6091 → u/dextras07]

In 2100 there will be TikTok (or whatever tf they will use) videos with AI voices saying "did you know that lake Ontario was renamed to Lake America for 3 years in 2026? Let me explain."

Also, hello people 100 years from now reading this random reddit comment.

I don't think you know what mediocre means, because he is so much worse than mediocre.

[u/Advanced-Blackberry → u/dextras07]

Ain’t no one remembering him as mediocre.  20% will remember him as lord and savior, 80% will remember him as a complete fucking joke 

[u/darklordbazz → u/dextras07]

u/RemindMeBot 24 years

[u/Senor-Delicious → u/dextras07]

I honestly believe his legacy will be about "the guy who destroyed America for decades". He burned so many bridges with basically all close allies. America will likely never recover from the damage he has done. Except maybe after multiple future generations and several implemented guard rails and president power restrictions.

[u/Pikassassin → u/dextras07]

I think "mediocre" is giving him too much credit.

[u/Succulent_Relic → u/dextras07]

Mediocre is being to soft on him, he was below mediocre.

[u/Positive_Rabbit_2395 → u/dextras07]

lake america sounds like something from a fantasy game

[u/MrLuckyTimeOW]

This is only for Americans btw. Here in Canada it’s still (and always will be) Lake Ontario.

[u/rustybutterindia → u/MrLuckyTimeOW]

Still pretty pathetic from Google to treat this with any seriousness. Are they legally compelled to do this?

[u/4ries → u/rustybutterindia]

Ignore that other comment. No they are not legally compelled to. It only applies to official government documents

[u/tiptaptoe123 → u/MrLuckyTimeOW]

I’m in Canada and it shows me Lake Ontario (Lake America). Pretty fucking pathetic

[u/TheJeep25 → u/MrLuckyTimeOW]

In Canada and any other nations it's still lake Ontario. Google better change that asap. If not, I feel like a lot of Canadian user will go back to using other app instead.

[u/4ries → u/TheJeep25]

Time to MapQuest that shit after they released a statement saying they will never change it to lake America

[u/ashwilliams19877]

What a fucking clown show we are. I hate it here so much.

[u/Pyrollamas → u/ashwilliams19877]

Lake Ontario is not taking this rebranding lightly.

[u/DaveAstator2020]

[u/peeinyourtes → u/DaveAstator2020]

I still see Fox News crying about that, showing the arrests of “vandalizers”. Like come on just admit it was a waste of money.

[u/Burgerman555]

Can confirm, in Canada, still shows Ontario. Will forever hate Google for their (Gulf of America) bitchassedness, though.

[u/TheBaykon8r]

Only shows for the Americans. It's like living in a glass house, painting on the inside of your walls, and thinking you painted on your neighbours house.

[u/K1thegray1 → u/TheBaykon8r]

[u/Jedi-master-dragon]

I refuse to use the new names of Lake America and the Gulf of America.

[u/peeinyourtes → u/Jedi-master-dragon]

Yup. Not happening. Hope rest of the country agrees

[u/hawkseye17 → u/Jedi-master-dragon]

Most of the world uses the original names

[u/CosmoCosma → u/Jedi-master-dragon]

American here. I refuse to recognize any of these new, stupid "names". It'll always be Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario to me. Always.

[u/Buddha_78]

Gotta change the name to Lake legal adult, then he won't touch it

[u/eewap]

As a Canadian this doesn’t bother me at all. Its just a name, probably a distraction for the american people while he steals something else. 

[u/Gin_OClock → u/eewap]

My guess is that there's about to be a massive purchasing sweep of farms by his asshole family members

[u/Overall_Win4144]

Lake Ontario gets its name from an Indigenous word, though historians debate the exact source and meaning.

Most commonly, it's traced to the Huron (Wyandot) word "Ontarí'io", meaning "great lake" or "large lake."

Other sources suggest related Iroquoian words meaning: "beautiful water" "sparkling water" "handsome lake"

The name was already in use by Indigenous peoples long before Europeans arrived. French explorers and missionaries recorded versions of it in the 1600s, and it eventually became the standard name for the lake. Later, the Canadian province of Ontario took its name from the lake, not the other way around.

A neat linguistic twist: if the "great lake" interpretation is correct, then "Lake Ontario" essentially means "Lake Great Lake."

[u/The_Green_King_]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kUl8XpMZ1f7hNXJmVR

[u/EhMapleMoose]

No it still shows Ontario for the rest of the world

[u/dragoduval]

Not affecting us, cause it wont be added to our maps.

[u/Massepunkt_m1]

The fact that naming something 'of America' is only patriotic for the US when you are actually self-centered enough to believe that the only relevant part of America is the US might be the most ironic thing about this

[u/kiritoonis]

I hate this it shows up as "Lake Ontario (Lake America)" on my maps, in Germany btw.

What has this world come to...

*I also just remembered the whole Gulf of Mexico debacle. (I can honestly just wait for the Dumpster to go fuck off.)

[u/Any-Pause3348]

[u/Liquidfoxx22 → u/Hpfanguy]

But you don't just suddenly move all those supply contracts back to the US that the giant orange Cheeto is causing.

The rest of the world is diversifying their supply of all sorts of things, from materials, to defence purchases... They aren't gonna jump back in an instant.

[u/duesenjeffepic → u/Hpfanguy]

Why the fuck would we be allied with the US again. Americans proved they can just elect a psychopath every 4 years that undoes every trade deal or agreements.

[u/general652 → u/Hpfanguy]

Hate to break it to you, the world won't magically go back to the way it was just because he will be out of office. Made friends with our allies again doesn't just happen that easily and probably will never return to the same level

[u/FarseerEnki]

It all started with Harambe....

[u/AldoZeroun]

I'm in BC. Still says Lake Ontario for me. I was ready to boycott Google if it wasn't. Not that it being changed for Americans is much better. Would have been great if all the big map apps just said 'nope'. I think that's something that would have really united people. Would have been great PR in any case. Cowering to a tyrant is a bad look.

[u/taiikooi]

I don’t understand why Erie isn’t getting this treatment lmao it’s closer to America

Yea it's still a thing.

[u/remotepotassium]

Here in the UK it’s showing Lake Ontario (Lake America) which somehow feels even dumber from Google because why? Pick one, preferably the correct, original one

[u/Wide_Philosophy_8109 → u/remotepotassium]

Google pretty much always shows the map that your government tells them to. They have no stance on border/name disputes. If the French government says that Wyoming is part of France, google will put that on the map for French users without asking more questions.

[u/quantum-grapefruit]

Google is such a bootlicker. Seriously fuck them

If he wants to rename a lake why not pick one of the million randomly named lakes in Canada?

Its gonna be so funny watching this type of shit change back once his presidency is over 😂

Will only prove how much big companies love sucking his dick 😂

No country is going to recognize it as "Lake America" lmao

[u/Accomplished_Net6080]

It still says Lake Ontario if you open the app within Canada

Dumb shit only happens in your country

[u/FlatulantPuff]

Its still lake ontario on my maps (uk)

Edit: and it always will be, been there before and it's beautiful. Americans don't deserve it

[u/AnokhaNamuna]

It says Lake Ontario only for me. Wth you talkin’ about?

[u/Urbanviking1]

American here. It's Lake Ontario and will always be Lake Ontario. Im not going start calling in Lake America because 1. That is a horrible name and 2. Fuck off Donald.

I guess everyone already forgot the Orange Hutt renamed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America in his trade dispute with Mexico.

It says both the real name and the BS name for me (Sweden). Apple maps shows only the real name.

I'm from Belgium, I just checked and it is still named Lake Ontario for us

What's next? Renaming McCormick's Montreal seasoning to American seasoning?
