Just a question, are the geographical charts owned/maintained/can be changed by SD? In that case I want to suggest a city name change as it does not reflect the (main) city name, it is just a suburb

We license that data from a third party. If you think a name is wrong, though, we can of course feed this back to them.

Tom, here is what I mean:

Follow the line from Teuge airport (EHTE) SE to the end, the city is called "Zutphen" here on GE pro. Which is the general reference name for the city.
In the SD charts it is called "Warnsveld". Which is the name of the small village which was absorbed into Zutphen, long time ago and now it has become a suburb of Zutphen. See how "Zutphen" is divided into neighbourhoods/suburbs, but all are part of the main city, Zutphen:

I see what you mean. I've looked into this, and unfortunately this is just the result of the algorithm we use to decide which towns are visible at which zoom levels. I can see that it isn't ideal but in general the algorithm serves us well. Next time it's updated, we will hopefully be able to resolve the occasional undesirable result like this one.
