Google Maps must maintain geographic accuracy and international naming standards over unilateral political directives.

To the Google Maps Product and Engineering Teams,

I am writing to formally request that Google Maps retains the historic and internationally recognized name of "Lake Ontario" on all mapping platforms, and does not alter it to "Lake America." Lake Ontario is a globally accepted geographical name shared by both Canada and the United States.

It possesses deep historical, cultural, and ecological significance to millions of people, including indigenous communities and residents of both nations. Changing this name to a non-standard alternative would cause widespread confusion, compromise the accuracy of your mapping data, and disregard established geographic standards.Please ensure that Google Maps continues to reflect official, verified international naming conventions by maintaining "Lake Ontario."

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for keeping your maps accurate.
