To avoid copywrite infringement, Googlemaps routinely put in 'easter eggs' in the form of false place names, streets, geographic features etc. I live 2 blocks from a street that doesn't exist and never has.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

An out-of-town friend of mine, using turn-by-turn navigation ended up in a parking lot near a sports field three blocks away. He couldn't turn down the non existent street. Descartes would be baffled.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

What would copyright infringement have to do with Google Maps? They're not using copyrighted information, unless street names can be copyrighted (or trademarked, more likely) in your area, which would be ... wrong. In general street names (and even place names) are public information since they're visible by a normal person walking down the street...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

GoogleMaps are copywritten. They put in bits of false information so they will know if someone else is copying their copywritten material without their permission. Problem arises when someone completely unfamiliar with an area uses these maps for navigation.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

the articles say that's what map makers always did, although I don't think that stacks up entirely for Google if you think about itAny views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
