Town names
-
I guess this is an issue in the underlying Tom Tom maps. But how do they decide on town names? The example below is of Mons or Bergen in Belgium.
I might be unlucky and this example is just a language thing. But i have noticed it before that the map emphasis seems to be a random suburb of a large town and the "real" town name is shown in a tiny font. This can be confusing enough to make you check the route is going where you expect.
The screen shots are using Tom Tom and OSM. -

It is a langauge wrinkle, because Belgium is multi-lingual:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mons,_Belgium
Mons (French: [mɔ̃s] ⓘ; German and Dutch: Bergen, Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbɛrɣə(n)]The Michelin layer is always the French spelling.
HERE is Dutch, hence Bergen from them.
TomTom is Dutch = Bergen.I did see a change from Mons to Bergen on one map when zoomed, but I couldn't repeat it, which I agree is a bit odd.

It seems that this happens a lot, not only with MRA. For example, Polarsteps always displays "Leghorn" instead of Livorno. I don´t know what logic they use.^^
