Apple Maps has officially changed the name of Lake Ontario to 'Lake America', mirroring a move by Google. This follows an executive order from President Donald Trump during a trade dispute with Canada. The change is now visible across both companies' navigation apps, though the Canadian version of Apple Maps still shows 'Lake Ontario', according to Bloomberg.

Interestingly, Apple waited a bit longer than Google to make this update, following a similar change to the name of the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' following a previous executive order. Meanwhile, MapQuest has resisted the changes, and remains steadfast in its naming conventions.

This update has seen it climb to the top spot on Apple’s App Store, potentially due to its refusal to change the names. The move has sparked debate about the role of technology companies in geopolitical naming controversies.

For now, whether you use Apple, Google or MapQuest, you can still navigate the area by searching for 'Lake Ontario' if you're Canadian, or 'Lake America' if you’re somewhere else. The practical impact of these name changes is yet to be fully assessed.
