Apple Maps changes Lake Ontario to Lake America after Trump order
Wednesday, September 2, 2026
Apple updated its maps application to display Lake Ontario as "Lake America" following an executive order from President Donald Trump in February 2026. The change applies to Apple Maps' U.S. version. Trump's order directed federal agencies and private companies to rename the lake as part of trade negotiations between the United States and Canada. Apple did not publicly comment on the rationale for implementing the change.
