Lac de Genève

Tags :Hm. It seems that Apple Maps labels the Léman as Lake Geneva, or Lac de Genève. After research, it seems that Apple Maps feedback mechanism was gamed into changing the name #lol
This is a long standing (local) controversy between the people of Geneva (some) and neighbouring states (France including.) Nothing really worth talking about as most people visiting Geneva call the lake “Lake Geneva”.
It’s worth noting that most other major lakes in the country, lac des Quatre Cantons excepted, are named according to the closest major city (it was called lac de Lausanne before Geneva’s growth).
Le Léman comes from Lacus Lemannus.
