Yr.no is a nice weather service and it still shows lake ontario for me (though I'm not in the US and leave it on norsk instead of bothering to change to English)
The folks most concerned about such a change are those who live in the US since I'm assuming only we are exposed to this stupidity eg European providers aren't renaming shit based on a lunatics directives. For us yr.no is hard to adjust to since it supports the english language BUT only uses Celsius. I'm aware metric is superior but at least for me I have to mentally translate from A->B and celsius is used nowhere but in the sciences here. EG its not a great alternative
For me, in the EU, google maps shows "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" and "Lake Ontario (Lake America)".
google maps will sometimes show different borders depending on where you access it from as well.
Personally I try to use OSM where I can, but streetview can be really useful sometimes.
