I've downloaded the free version a few months ago & it works like a charm.
But recently I found out that some places names are misspelled.
Ex. "Rome" is set as "Roma".
Why & what's the solution for that?

It is not misspelled, it is just the local Italian name for the capital of Italy.

If you prefer the english name then you will find it in the table alternatename with the language code='en'.

Best Regards
