MapQuest also released an online tool that lets you jokingly rename Lake Ontario to whatever you want it to be, then share the results on social media.

I'm just glad Mapy.com (local service to where I'm from) also shows proper names of Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. It's not Foss but you're at least supporting neither google nor apple. And their map backgrounds are IMO the best out there, closest to "real paper map".
