After the official renaming of the Courchevels this year it look like the new Maps on Apples IOS6 and then new iPhone 5 (replacing Google Maps) have renamed Courchevel to Courcheval-la Tania.
Courcheval is occasionally seen as an alternative spelling to the more widely used Courchevel but Meribel becoming Meribel Brides-les-Bains and Les Allues / Saint Bon in strange positions too…
Note that the usual Piste Maps have South at the top.
Apple IOS6 Maps using TomTom data amongst others.
Google Maps – La Perriere (La Tania’s owners) only gets a mention at this zoom level.
The official renaming of the villages is as follows:
Courchevel 1850 – Courchevel.
Courchevel 1650 – Courchevel Moriond.
Courchevel 1550 – Courchevel Village.
Courchevel 1300 (Le Praz) – Courchevel Le Praz.
Although some people aren’t to happy with the changes as this pic from June 2012 shows (now replaced with a more vandalised proof easy swap out signs).
La Tania really does remain La Tania by the way – As someone one said on TV “La Tania isn’t Courchevel, La Tania is La Tania”.
P.S. Web App version of Google Maps works fine and free Street View App is available too – so no big deal despite the media hysteria on Apple’s big mistake…
