I don't imagine that Google ever responds to such complaints, however some of the map providers tend to be guided by official government name lists where available. For example, English names for locations conform to those in the official repository of standard spellings of all foreign place names sanctioned by the US Board on Geographic Names. In some cases there are different versions of the map when using the local maps.goole.[countrycode] rather than maps.google.com. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
