For Google Maps, it’s the “Daleware” River

It might be a subtle shout-out to the local vernacular, but Google’s misspelling of the Delaware River as “Daleware,” is maybe more comical than insulting.
To top it off, the search giant’s current set of Google Maps data mislabels the Schuylkill River as the “Deleware,” and Pennypack Creek is, too, incorrectly titled as the river.
It’s not the first time that Google’s mapping platform has made mistakes. Last month, Time reported that Sunrise, Florida disappeared from the site for about a month.
Reader and GIS guru Michael Miller tipped off Google to the error, using the site’s “Report a problem,” feedback loop. He says the search giant responded in a little less than a week and officials say they’re working on a fix.
After the jump, a shot of the Schuylkill labelled as its Eastern kin.
