"Lake America"

Good grief, your Rapist-in-chief is a moron.......

Mapquest is also, as of this moment, showing the true, non-derpy, name.

It's a bit more than doing that.

It's openly mocking it.

Looks like Google Maps is no longer the best.

Google Maps already caved in when Trump named the Gulf of Mexico his preferred proper noun.

Huh, I wonder what it is Google wants from the administration.

Google has contracts with federal goverment departments and Trump threatened those contracts last time over the Gulf of Mexico nonsense. Same with Apple and anyone else who has contracts with the feds and may have reason to use either name.

Well, there's that.

Nice plans to be a world leader in AI backed by a huge rollout of data centre infrastructure you got there. Would be a shame if government inference, unfavourable tariffs, ICE raids,deportations of your engineers and weaponization of the DOJ were to happen to it....

Google

The U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) has formally changed the name for "Lake Ontario" to "Lake America" in the United States. Since we update Google Maps to reflect name changes in official government sources, which is GNIS for the U.S., people using Maps in the U.S. will see "Lake America," those in Canada will continue to see "Lake Ontario," and those outside of the U.S. and Canada will see both names. These updates follow our long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country, and are starting to roll out now.

Pandering twats.

Don't tell Trump but Google are putting Ontario first in its double barrel name here in Oz. AND pointing out it's the smallest lake.

And there is a certain resemblance to something that nobody wants to have the smallest.

Tim Apple throws in the towel.

Tim Apple throws in the towel.

US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in an interview with Fox News on Monday that Trump “reached out to Apple directly” last week to request the lake’s name change on the Apple Maps app.

Apple changes name of Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ in maps app

The change marks the second US-based tech giant to comply with President Donald Trump's controversial order.

It'd be a shame if something happened to those contracts, wouldn't it?

Still Lake Ontario outside the US, or at least in Australia.

Treaty of Canandaigua.

Loading…

nysm.nysed.gov

The President of the United States having determined to hold a conference with the Six Nations of Indians, for the purpose of removing from their minds all causes of complaint, and establishing a firm and permanent friendship with them;....

Article III. The land of the Seneca nation is bounded as follows: Beginning on Lake Ontario, .... then due south to the northern boundary of that state; then due east to the south-west corner of the land sold by the Seneca nation to Oliver Phelps; and then north and northerly, along Phelps’ line, to the place beginning on Lake Ontario.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the said Timothy Pickering, and the sachems and war chiefs of the said Six Nations, have hereunto set their hands and seals. Done at Canandaigua, in the State of New York, in the eleventh day of November, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.

The problem is that Trump thinks George Washington is just some dead bitch that he can use in stupid AI images to prop up his own filthy reputation.

I doubt any actual Trump supporters are reading this thread, but if they are, the world is laughing at your country.
Its laughing at your country, its laughing at Trump, and laughing at you, personally.

Utterly pathetic.

BTW from UK and from Hong Kong, Google maps still reads Ontario.

 

[PitPat]

I think if there are any MAGA here, and it's probable, they're at least smart enough to stay out this subforum.

They've moved it as well as renamed it!?
