Need to correct spelling of Ahmedngar city and district.

[naga...@gmail.com]

Ahmednagar is a city/district in Maharashtra state of India.  The spelling of this city/district is screwed up in almost all digital maps over Internet. Thanks to misspelled old data/books etc.  The correct spelling of city/district is Ahmednagar (E after letter M), not Ahmadnagar (A after letter M).  Please fix the base data of all digital maps (including google) by correcting spelling as Ahmednagar for city and district.  Remove all occurrences of 'Ahmadnagar (A after letter M)'  in all maps of Ahmednagar district. Make sure that user/cartographer/mapmaker are not allowed to type 'Ahmadnagar (A after letter M)' henceforth. Thanks.

Hi Nagarick,
 Thanks for posting. I searched this on Map Maker and found that the city feature is already reflecting the desired name i.e Ahmednagar :)
http://www.google.com/mapmaker?hl=en&q=Ahmadnagar&gw=39&ll=19.78738,74.558716&spn=2.749584,3.433228&z=8&iwloc=0_0&fid=4313516583823036777:12528686891284228852

As far as district is concerned, you can edit that feature to add a new name. You can specify the type of newly added name(Ahmednagar) as 'Preferred' while changing the type of older name(Ahmadnagar) to 'Obscure'. Please visit the following link for more information on adding multiple names:

Also, please let me know if you've any doubts.
