I used to be a postman for three years, and during my service there was one particular trap place that I would get post for. Because while number 15 and 17 were still on the square, 16 had been demolished years prior and replaced by a playground. However a lot of maps still featured the address to be next to the entrance of the playground eventhough that was a privately owned garage. This wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for the dozens of people who either used to live at number 16 but are now long dead or used it as a dummy address to send unwanted mail to. I have had plenty of arguments with my former employer over this, because in his mind Google says number 16 exists and Google cannot possibly be wrong.

@metal87power 2 года назад

I'm a postman too and I find the same fake or wrong addresses even based on on-line maps. There are numbers of buildings in the middle of the streets and such. The real problem is that the number of real buildings increases and number of postmen doesn't.

I work a lot on backroads in northern British Columbia; it's pretty common to find roads on the map that don't exist. Of course, this probably has more to do with the fact that a lot of old forestry roads get decommissioned after use. Though a funny anecdote, I was driving out to a project and had a new-to-the-job passenger doing the navigating. "So... we hang a left on the 800 Road and that should take us straight to the project," he says. I drive up and down, looking for the 800 Road and finally ask to see the map. He was looking at an elevation line. 800 m asl.

On some maps there's a giant island called "New Zealand" It's not on most maps, but it easily shows up on like 30-40% of world maps.

@catherinekilgour2563 3 года назад

It's actually a group of islands rather than a single giant one but you are right that it's not on all maps. According to some maps it's slightly larger than the UK so should be on all maps - if it is real. ;-)

Years ago I had a Vancouver, British Columbia city map which showed a "Revoucan Drive" in suburban North Vancouver. For years I tried to find this curvy residential road to explore it to no avail. I thought it was a mistake by the map maker. However, after watching this segment, I now believe it was probably a trap road.

google maps has one "error" that actually helps me sometimes. There's small village/city/town (who knows) that doesn't exist but when you type it it shows my home. I don't have to type my adress when I want to know how far I have to somewhere. Stupid? Yes. Useless? Obviously. I like it? Indeed
