Googlemaps ... er, error

Victor

Googlemaps.com refers to the M50 Southern Cross Route & South Eastern Motorway and the N81 as ... "Around the Wicklow Mountains". Someone has put a tour on the wrong layer.

Pretty funny. That's been there all along and they still haven't noticed it... or "Qilean an Bhulla" for that matter (note the Q).

I noticed this on the google maps screen on daft.ie. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time , thought it was just someone being lazy.

Theyve done a pretty big update by the looks of it

Monasaterevin bypass is FINALLY blue M road. But they still havent got the Ballincollig bypass in Cork right

Funny stuff tho

Edit: The N18 is the 'Clare Circuit' now
"Lochs of Middle Ireland" is now everything around Athlone
"Harbour Hopping in South West Cork" is now a road...

They have the port tunnel, but show the entrance at Santry church rather than its present location. A pity as people coming from the airport are presumably likely to consult Google Maps before coming here.

They don't have the Dundalk bypass section of the M1. In that vicinity they have an odd block of detailed roads on the Northern side of the border which don't really join to anything, satellite photographs of Slab Murphy's house perhaps?

Santry church or Whitehall church? the entrance actually *is* pretty close to Santry church (at the interchange with Oscar Traynor Road).

My mistake, I guess it is Whitehall church I am talking about, near Collins Ave.

Sure the train line from Hueston westwards terminates in a field east of Celbridge.

The data provided on Microsoft's Local service is better. No mapping errors like on Google's, though they suffer from the same problem of not being totally up to date.
