random funkiness

I'm using Google Earth to pick (roughly, visually) the centroid of an area (Eastern MA, by some definition).  I zoomed in and happened to notice "Mosswetusset Hummock".  What a wonderful name.  It's not really a good centroid for the spots I'm using, but it's pretty good for the region theoretically covered, so....  Go to Google maps, ask for "Mosswetusset Hummock".  I get: "Did you mean:

Moswetuset Hummock Park". 

I guess, I'm just copying the spelling exactly as I found it.  Does Navteq just have a major 'S' aversion? I wonder which underlying data is right?   I'd ask google, but that's what got me into this.... 

Oh, well.

Google "Moswetuset Hummock Park". That's how it's really spelled. It's Google Earth that has it misspelled.
