Where are you seeing this? If it's the maps, good as we are we have no control over them, report the issue to the map makers?

I think he is referring to several of the older POIs that are currently in the Database.
@gpsfox - It is something that will be got round to in due course .... given enough time.

| Quote: | | As recently as 200 years ago, Bexley Heath comprised an area of scrub-land with few buildings (Bexley Heath windmill stood at the corner of Erith Road and Mayplace Road). |
So people with Sat Navs 200 years ago had it right.

To my mind the accuracy of the location is of more importance than the spelling of the name.
In an ideal world it would be great to get the spelling right also.

You beat me to that! It's close enough that it is unlikely to be mistaken after all.
