Trump pushes Apple to change 'Lake Ontario' to 'Lake America' on its maps
www.bbc.com
The request comes after Google made the switch for US-based users over the weekend. MapQuest, another US map provider, said it will not change the name.

    Obviously no-one is going to, but it would funny if someone working at Apple changed it to Lake Canada instead.

    If they do the day I can get a Motorola razor with grapheneOS I will toss this fucking iPhone in the lake.

      They already did it for the Gulf of Mexico; I entirely expect that they’ll fold here too.

        I’m putting $50 a month away until the new razr with grapheneOS is out and I’m buying it as soon as it’s available.

        Then I will road trip to LAKE ONTARIO and toss this iPhone in it.

        Fuck Google and fuck Apple!

    Any mapping app that falsely labels the Gulf of Mexico or Lake Ontario is complying with fascism and is thus unusable for general navigation.

    Google got on their knees pretty much instantly for this, just like the fake rename of the Gulf of Mexico. So I’m adopting OpenStreetMap for desktop and Organic Maps for nav.
