    "prose": "As of September 2, 2026, Apple Maps displays the name 'Lake America' for U.S. users viewing the lake bordering New York and Ontario, while users outside the United States still see 'Lake Ontario'. [^1]\n\nU.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order last week changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. [^2]\n\nGoogle introduced the same renaming for U.S. users over the weekend of August 29-30, 2026, stating on August 30 that users in the U.S. will see 'Lake America,' users in Canada will see 'Lake Ontario,' and users elsewhere will see both names, citing its policy of following the U.S. Geographic Names Information System after President Trump's order. [^3]\n\nOntario Premier Doug Ford rejected the renaming on August 28, 2026, writing on social media that 'It’s Lake Ontario to Canadians and the rest of the world. Now and forever.' [^4]\n\nThe U.S. Geographic Names Information System updated the database with the new name, and Google Maps adopted it earlier this week. [^5]\n\nThe updated name is currently rolling out to iPhone, iPad, and Mac users, with the label expected to change completely in the next few hours. [^6]\n\nU.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated that President Trump reached out to Apple directly to request the name change. [^7]",
