Some Canadian websites, including for the federal government, displayed maps with Lake Ontario renamed as Lake America on Sunday, a day after Google Maps announced the change to align with an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is why we need to use more open source stuff not tied to a closed US company like; Apple, Google, Microslop, Twitter, Meta, and whatever else.

You can, for what it's worth, use Google Maps' traffic data on the Android app OsmAnd (Reddit link). The custom overlay takes about 30 seconds to add and is pretty straightforward.

Tested just now and still works.

Notably it won't affect navigation, but it will show you visually where traffic is.
