Google-ka wuxuu ku bedelaya magaca 'Lake Ontario' midka 'Lake America' kadib amarkii madaxweyne Trump
Google-ka wuxuu ku bedelaya magaca 'Lake Ontario' midka 'Lake America' kadib amarkii madaxweyne Trump. Tani waxay ku timid kadib markii dowladda Mareykanka ay bedeshay qoraallada rasmiiga ah ee ku saabsan magaca dhulka, iyadoo la xiriira khilaafka maalgashiga ee dhex mara Mareykanka iyo Kanada.
Amarkii Trump iyo sababta beddelka
Madaxweyne Donald Trump wuxuu maanta (Khamiis) soo saaray amarkii dowladda ee lagu bedelayo magaca 'Lake Ontario' inuu noqdo 'Lake America'. Tani waxay ku timid kadib khilaafka maalgashiga ee dhex mara Mareykanka iyo Kanada, gaar ahaan gobolka Ontario ee dalkaas. Trump wuxuu horey u sameeyay tallaabo kale oo ka dhigan beddelka magaca 'Gulf of Mexico' inuu noqdo 'Gulf of America' bishii January 2025.
Amarka Trump wuxuu ahaa mid ka mid ah tallaabooyinka uu qaadayo si uu uga hortago dowladda Kanada, iyadoo la xiriira khilaafka maalgashiga ee dhex mara labada dal. Tani waxay ku timid kadib markii dowladda Mareykanka ay bedeshay qoraallada rasmiiga ah ee ku saabsan magaca dhulka, iyadoo la xiriira khilaafka maalgashiga ee dhex mara Mareykanka iyo Kanada.
Beddelka Google iyo shirkadaha kale
Shirkadaha Google, Apple, iyo Microsoft waxay si degdeg ah u qaateen beddelka magaca kadib markii dowladda Mareykanka ay bedeshay qoraallada rasmiiga ah. Google wuxuu sheegay in dadka isticmaala Google-ka Mareykanka ay arkaan 'Lake America', halka dadka Kanada ay arkaan 'Lake Ontario', halka dadka kale ee adduunka ay arkaan labada magacoodba.
Shirkadaha kale sida Apple Maps iyo Bing Maps ma aysan wali bedelin magaca, balse waxay la socdaan inay bedelaan. MapQuest wuxuu diiday inuu bedelo magaca, isagoo sheegay 'Waxaan u beddeli doonaa'.

Google has updated its US maps to display the easternmost Great Lake as 'Lake America' instead of 'Lake Ontario,' following a presidential executive order issued on Thursday as part of an ongoing trade dispute with Canada.
Executive Order and Government Database Update
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to rename Lake Ontario to 'Lake America,' a move tied to his broader trade tensions with Canada, whose province of Ontario borders the lake. This follows a similar January 2025 order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
The US Department of the Interior updated its official Geographic Names Information System records to reflect the new name, prompting private mapping companies to adopt the change. The federal GNIS database map still showed 'Lake Ontario' as of Sunday morning, with a note that updates were in progress.
How the Name Change Appears to Users
Google stated that users in the US will see 'Lake America,' while Canadian users will continue to see 'Lake Ontario,' and users outside both countries will see both names. This reflects Google's long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary by country.
Apple Maps and Bing Maps have not yet reflected the change but are expected to follow suit. The location names a user sees depend on their own geography, and these updates are rolling out now.
Reactions from Other Map Providers
OpenStreetMap, whose technology is used by companies such as Uber and Lyft, recognizes both the US and foreign names and gives organizations using its maps the choice over which to show. The open-source mapping community has generated considerable public debate over Trump's efforts to rewrite maps.
MapQuest has declined to make the change, posting on social media in response to Trump's order: 'We're not changing it.' This marks a rare instance of a major map provider openly defying a federal naming directive.
