Except it shows up as Lake Americas in my google maps and I'm in Europe...
Mine has it in brackets. They can honestly fuck off with that.
Like I specifically searched lake Ontario.
Edit: if I go out of search there's no mention of the wrong name however.
That's how it is for me now. The actual lake was labeled as Lake Americas yesterday however, today it's back to Ontario.
