BENGALURU: Kannada Development Authority (KDA) chairman TS Nagabharana has written to Google India, Bengaluru, asking the technology major to correct the wrongly spelt names of cities, towns and villages of Karnataka in Kannada on its Google Maps application and web-mapping platform.
The authority said it has noticed names of several cities, towns and villages of Karnataka wrongly spelt on Google Maps and that they need to be rectified. KDA has also offered Google assistance in this regard.
Nowadays, Google Maps has been effectively helping everyone, including tourists, and there is a danger that people will continue to use the misspelt names of places, assuming they are correct and that might become the norm, KDA officials said.
