From Michigan Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Network:
The U.S. president thinks that what our country needs most at this time of strife for many people is a petty, narcissistic renaming of lakes and gulfs. It's easy to brush it off as another day, another ridiculous bluster. But GOOGLE IS GOING ALONG WITH IT! Open the Google Maps app and you'll see that they're displaying "Lake America" and "Gulf of America."
Want to express your opinion about this? Follow these steps below. This worked for me on my laptop. I use a different map app on my phone, but it appears from what I'm reading that the steps would be similar for the Google Map app on phones.
Open the Google Maps app on your PC (or phone).
In the Search bar, click the three horizontal bars (menu).
Choose "Edit the Map," then "Your Opinions About Maps."
Click "Report an Issue."
Complete the form. You might simply state, "It's Lake Ontario, not Lake America. It's Gulf of Mexico, not Gulf of America" and anything else you'd like to say about this.
Click Next, then Send.
