Not sure, but I think there is a .cfg file for all the surface bases where you can edit it, but Iam not sure though.. ;)

I will have to wait until I get to my home computer...

Well, you can open: orbiter\Config\Earth\Marker\Cities.mkr

With notepad, and change the marker from there.

THANKS! I'll give it a try tonight. I wonder if anyone else has noticed any other misspellings?

Yeah, the same problem with the spelling of Sydney, Australia. I always change this one because I always look forward to flying over my home town and seeing it spelt wrong just doesn't feel right.
