Google couldn’t wait to roll it out… Fuck those fascist ego strokers.
Not even a bit of pushback. Dead silence from a them, just straight up compliance.
If google maps is unable to properly label the names of cities, lakes, etc, then it shouldn’t be allowed to operate.
Block google maps in Canada, problem solved
Never ever forget this disgusting capitulation. Might legitimately be the worst thing they’ve done, for an audience of one.
It still shows Lake Ontario for me, but I may not have all the latest Android updates.
It would be hilarious if it showed as Lake Ontario for Canadians and only Lake America for USAians.
That is how it has always worked. Most of the rest of the world sees Gulf of Mexico and will see Lake Ontario.
There are a lot more disputed and conflicting geographical names than these two. Google has a system in place that aligns naming by country.
They’re always coming up with new and interesting ways to show how much they suck.
That’s cause them dudes in the Epstein Files. It’s always Tit for Tat.
Spain here… still says Lake Ontario on mine
But I remember when the “Gulf of America” was declared, it still said Gulf of Mexico for a while, after a while it changed it to both names:
Sad state of affairs, but this is google 🤷♂️
OSM looks great. Why would anybody use anything else?
What a bunch of MAGA losers.
I knew google was fucked when I pulled up youtube shorts and the first video was fuck face tucker carlson dropping anti semitic terms.
Well good, about time they put warnings on maps. Above is the lake, below is america. You have been warned.
Still Ontario from Canada
Not for me. Using a Canadian VPN.
I’m in Canada and it’s Lac Ontario for me. (In French)
German Google Maps:
Lake Ontario is still Lake Ontario.
Google has shown local variations to borders etc. for… decades? They do not define them, after all.
In Japan, still Ontario from here too.
Everyone should just report the error to Google over and over and over again. Remind them that the federal government doesn’t actually have unilateral authority to rename major international geographic features on the whim of a single deranged despot.
Just did it.
Fucking boo.
Also, and this is weird, mine shows Lake America at one level of zoom, then changes back to Lake Ontario, and then changes to Lake America all over again at an even closer level of zoom. Everything is ridiculous and awful.
I am in the long process of DeGoogling. When I saw this post I set my VPN location to Canada.
