The city (and district) I live in still has its name spelled incredibly wrong, and has had so for the past decade.
You cannot select a municipality name. They’re not buildings or roads marked by mere mortals. And what you can’t select you can’t correct. It is just believed that they are always correct. Immaculate. Immutable.
Every attempt to fix it has failed, from contacting support (as a “premium Google One customer”) or looking for senior Google Maps contributors (all of whom lost all their contacts with “higher up” Googlers when the old map transitioned into new, or just vanished once the forums closed).
In a country where last mile location is often ambiguous, that Google manages to fail at it on a scale large enough to be visible from space says volumes about how worthless their services are.
P.S: Yes, of course it’s correctly marked on OSM. And a lot more.
