minus-squarebrianary@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt still shows Lake Ontario for me (I’m in the US), but I may not have all the latest Android updates.

minus-squareHomesnatch@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThat is how it has always worked. Most of the rest of the world sees Gulf of Mexico and will see Lake Ontario.

minus-squaredriving_crooner@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt doesn’t depends on a update but as the official name of it in the country you are located. Gulf of Mexico is still Gulf of Mexico everywhere but the US. Lake Ontario is going to keep being Lake Ontario everywhere but the US.
