I did a poll of over a dozen Welsh speaking neighbours, not one of whom identified it as 'Wales'. This error has been displayed for a very long time now. Come on Google a correction to 'Cymru', which is recognised by non Welsh speaking residents in Wales, is long overdue.

The local language of Wales is Welsh in which - as you rightly say - "Wales" is "Cymru". I'm a Welsh-speaker and had never heard of An Bheatain Bheag. Is there a way to contact google to correct this. Incidently, I have noticed another error with the labelling of google maps. I was living on Calle Castellar in Seville and it was listed as Calle Castelar. Might seem like a small error but Calle del Castelar is a different street!

Particularly the internal views. You could do with processing the images a little (for example): http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/280897/DSC_9925.jpg but the model itself is quite something! Impressive.
