My screenshots are taken while not logged into google, opening google maps n a browser, and typing in 'lake ontario'. not being logged in might make a difference for some reason? the nz one is via a vpn (which is definitely working)

How about for the other one? (shows the same for aus and nz for me)

Why would it be changed for New Zealand?

Edit - Ah wait, that's a point of interest and not the map label.

that is the result from typing 'lake ontario' into google maps (not signed in) on a browser

this is what shows on a mouseover
