There has never been a guarantee for a map to be absolutely precise and correct. Just because maps today are digital and get updated automatically - or are even something like “live” - does not mean that there can’t be any inaccuracies.

And that’s the reason one never relies on a map alone, but uses it as a guide.

I’ve seen road signs that were simply wrong. Always use a combination of informational input and always be aware of possible flaws.

Thing is, as the article points out, people had contacted Google trying to get this fixed.

There was more than one failure here. That’s why the family is suing more than one entity.

The family might as well sue the local medium that failed seeing the incident in their crystal ball.
