Google Maps – Geography FAIL! edition
I love my readers and this is more proof why all yinz kickass. This was submitted to me from Tim at The Size of Life. He was planning a motorcycle trip that had him traveling from SE Ohio, through West Virginia and Pennsylvania. No biggie right? Make sure God is your co-pilot because Google Maps well gets you all sorts of messed up.
Class, pay attention…
For those of you unfamiliar with the eastern part of the United States here is a map for you (not Google Maps). I have colored in the states that are in question for this assignment. Tennessee, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Pretty easy eh? Well let’s zoom in and see what Google Maps has to say.
Looks kosher right? Click that image and see the full screen size.
Still can’t tell? Here let me help you out. Now click on this map
Thaaaaatttt’s right. Apparently Tennessee not only borders West Virginia but has also taken ownership of PA. Now I know some people call it Pennsyltucky (Pennsylvania and Kentucky, get it! wow thats bad) but this is a new one for me.
Thanks Tim for sending it in!
** UPDATE - Apparently Google Maps has already fixed this error. Glad we got the screen shots when we did! **
