Google rolled out the Lake America change on Saturday, while the official US government maps are still waiting.

Note: Waze, though owned by Google, still shows Lake Ontario. Edit: Oops, let me update. Yup, still Lake Ontario.

    I didn't see it listed out, but cartes.app has been the best Google Maps alternative that I've found. It has a familiar interface and features that Google Maps users are used to.

    It's open source and uses data from OpenStreetMap.

    Additionally CoMaps is great for offline maps driving/directions.
