Catalog of Errors

Many commercially available maps contain errors. Some of these are unintentional, others are deliberate (see Copyright Easter Eggs).

This page catalogs known errors. Some errors do get fixed by commercial map providers over time, so of course this list may be out-of-date (please edit)

When there are differences or errors about newly built or changes ways, have a look at New and Changed Ways.

Town	Street Name	Error Source	Description	Location
Basingstoke	Foxs Furlong	Google/TeleAtlas	Road south of cross roads does not exist.	[1]
Bath	Clarks Way	Ordnance Survey StreetView	OSSV has 'Clarkes Way'. OS Locator has correct Clarks Way. Email sent to OS. Reply received - matter passed to OS technical department Tiiiim 18:38, 9 June 2010 (UTC)	[2]
Bath	Redland Park	Ordnance Survey StreetView Ordnance Survey Locator	OSSV and OSL have this road as Day Crescent. The crescent shaped Redland Park road has a footpath inside its bounds called Day Crescent, which is probably the source of the error. Email sent to OS. Reply received - matter passed to OS technical department Tiiiim	[3]
Bicester	Gardners Ln	Google/TeleAtlas	Road doesn't exist.	[4]
Birmingham	Cardinal Close	Google/TeleAtlas	This road, just off Poplar Avenue, was the site of a school until 2003 but is now a fairly recent housing development.	[5]
Birmingham	Grantham Road	Google/TeleAtlas	This road was removed and the site is now part of a nearby school.	[6]
Bournemouth	Quick St	Google/TeleAtlas	Road does not exist (and never has)	[7]
Brighton	Alaska St	Google/TeleAtlas	Alaska St. does not exist.	[8]
Bristol	Lye Close	A-Z	Road does not exist
Bristol	Oxford Street/Kirby Street BS6	Google/Teleatlas	In the teleatlas data, Kirby Street/Oxford street is an L junction not connected to High Kingsdown, a road which goes over houses on the ground. Multimap is more accurate [9], in that the roads all join up, but even it does not note that the only way between Oxford Street and High Kingsdown is a flight of steps. Kirby street may not actually exist; if it does it is the name of a road to some garages. The post office postcode finder does not know of it.	[10]
Bristol	Bridges across River Avon BS3	Google/Teleatlas	One of the two bridges does not exist (the eastern one which is marked as footbridge); the one marked as street does exist, but is only a footbridge. To make up for it, they're completely missing the footbridge further east around Greenway Bush Lane)	[11]
Bristol	Gregory Lane BS4	Google/Teleatlas	Road does not exist, or if it does it's someone's driveway.	[12]
Bristol	Clyde Park, Redland area	Ordnance Survey Locator	OS Locator has it misspelt as Cylde Park. Email sent to OS Tiiiim 08:17, 29 July 2010 (UTC). Email received, confirming that OS will update their product. Tiiiim 17:04, 5 September 2010 (BST)	[13].
Bristol	Fairview Drive, Redland area	Ordnance Survey Locator Ordnance Survey StreetView	OS products have Fair View Drive. Road sign has Fairview Drive. Email sent to OS Tiiiim 08:17, 29 July 2010 (UTC). Email received, confirming that OS will update their product. Tiiiim 17:04, 5 September 2010 (BST)	[14]
Broadhaven	Puffin Way	Google/Teleatlas	Road does not extend to the South through the wetland area, nor West towards the B4341	[15]
Chester	a nonexistent road	Google Maps	The line of the canal and the railway between Vicars Cross Road and Whitchurch Road is wrong. In some scales the roads Pearl Lane and The Holkham are shown connected, but there is really a railway in a cutting between them.	[16]
Cobham, Surrey	Misplaced roundabout at junction of Fairmile Lane and Water Lane	Google/TeleAtlas and Multimap/TeleAtlas at 1:50,000 scale	Roundabout is shown at the junction of Water Lane and The Laurels but is actually at junction of Fairmile Lane and Water Lane. [17]	[18]
Cobham	Asford Gardens	Local Live/NavTeq and Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly named Asford Gardens. Real name is Ashford Gardens. [19]	[20] [21]
Cobham	Bridge Road	Local Live/NavTeq and Google/TeleAtlas	Downside Road connects directly to Downside Bridge Road. No street here is called Bridge Road. [22] [23]	[24] [25]
Cobham	Holly Hedge Road	Local Live/NavTeq	Incorrectly named Holly Hedge Road. Real name is Hollyhedge Road. [26]	[27]
Cobham	Hollyhedge Road	Google/TeleAtlas	This road is actually a footpath that probably used to be called Anvil Lane. The real Hollyhedge Road is clearly marked about 200m to the East. [28]	[29]
Cobham	Paddock Close	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly named Paddock Close. Real name is Paddocks Close. [30]	[31]
Corby	railway	Google	The railway line which runs through central Corby is entirely missing. This line, which runs from Oakham to Kettering, has no regular passenger services, but remains a freight route, which may explain its omission (it is sometimes used for diversions).	[32]
Crawley	Durham Close	Google	An imaginary road is shown, called "Yorkton St."	[33]
Derby	Bainbrigge Street	Google	Incorrectly spelled 'Bainbridge St'	[34]
Derby	Empress Road	Google	The one way is shown in the wrong direction on Google.	[35]
Derby	Sheffield Place	Bing	On Bing this road runs from the east of Railway Terrace, but in reality it is on the west of Railway Terrace	[36]
Dorking	Drill Hall Road	Google/TeleAtlas	This road, running due north at the northern end of Vincent Lane is totally missing from Google maps.	[37]
Dorking	Flint Hill Close	Google/TeleAtlas	Flint Hill Close is not part of the A2003.	[38]
Dorking	High Acre	Multimap and Google/TeleAtlas	This road is named Highacre not High Acre. And there is no access from Highacre to Flint Hill.	[39]
Dorking	Pixholme Lane	Google/TeleAtlas	Labelled Pixholme Grove	[40]
Dorking	Roses Cottages	Google/TeleAtlas	Roses Cottages is wrong. It is actually Rose Cottages.	[41]
Falmer, E Sussex		Google/TeleAtlas	Falmer is shown to the north of the A27, near the north end of Ridge Road, when it SE of the junction of the A27 and The Drove. (This seems to have been fixed.)	[42]
Fernhurst, W Sussex	Square Drive	Google/TeleAtlas	Square Drive is not to the west of the A286. It's to the east and further up (you get to the real Square Drive by scrolling north)	[43]
Glasgow	Bailie Drive	Google/TeleAtlas	Cut off, should connect to Stockiemuir Avenue.	[44]
Glasgow	Stewarton Road	Google/TeleAtlas	Misnamed as Dodside Road on map, but geolocation data correct	[45]
Guildford	King's Road	Google/Multimap	Multimap has King's Road section of A248 in Shalford marked as Christmas Hill. Google has omitted the name on the Christmas Hill section.	[46]
Hatfield	Queensway, Wellfield Road, The Arcade	Bing	Three or four roads are shown for each of these names (there should be one of each). Some of the roads don't exist, some have other names.	[47]
Leeds	Spring Bank Crescent	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly named Springbank Crescent.	[48]
Leeds	Windsor Court (Bramley)	Google/TeleAtlas/OS	Incorrectly named Ashby Gardens.	[49]
Leeds	Friston Avenue (Bramley)	Google/TeleAtlas	Doesn't exist - easter egg?	[50]
Leeds	Helmet Row (Meanwood)	Google/TeleAtlas	Doesn't exist - easter egg?	[51]
Leicester	Colchester Road/Hungarton Boulevard/Hamilton Way/Thurmaston Lane/Troon Way	Google	This is all now part of the A563, Leicester's outer ring road: Google shows it as a white local road. Google's highlighted route, Humberstone Road up to Thurmaston Lane, no longer work as that section of Thurmaston Lane is disconnected at the top. Additionally, Abbots Road was split into two by the new road, the segments (Abbots Road North and Abbots Road South) are dead-ends and cannot be accessed from Hungarton Boulevard, but Google continues to show treat them as a through-road.	[52]
Leicester	Waterloo Way	Google; Microsoft	In the 1990s, the part of Waterloo Way south of Regent Road was renamed "Tigers Way", after nearby rugby club Leicester Tigers. Google shows the old name for the entirety of the road; Microsoft instead shows "Tigers Way" as the name of the entire stretch, up to the station.	[53]
Leicester	Victoria Road East Extension	Google	Link road between A6030 (middle ring road) and A563 (outer ring road). Opened in 2005. Missing from Google Maps.	[54]
Leicester	A5125	Microsoft	There has been no A5125 for a number of years. This road linked Narborough Road with the Belgrave Flyover.	[55]
Finchley, London N12	Linkside	Navteq 2006	Road does not meet up, in reality it does, also bizarre nearby road off Walmington Fold that does not exist, except for access to an individual house's garage.	[56]
Finchley, London N3	Moat Lane	Google/TeleAtlas	Road does not exist	[57]
Finchley, London N3	The Avenue	Google/TeleAtlas	Road at wrong angle	[58]
Seven Sisters, London N15	Edgecot Grove	Google	Does not join with Breamar Road, is a close	[59]
London, SW1	Lugsmoor Lane	Google	Road actually called "Cleveland Row"	[60]
London, SW1	Kennard Road	Google	Road actually called "Spring Gardens"	[61]
London, SW1	Bennett Street	Google	Road actually spelled "Bennet Street" (one t)
Mill Hill, London NW7	Stanmore Street	Google/TeleAtlas	Road does not exist	[62]
Barnet / Cockfosters, north edge of London	Wagon Road / Waggon Road	Multiple sources	Officially not an error. The road officially subtly changes spelling half way along its length.	[63]
London; Finchley, London N3	Torrington Place	Google/TeleAtlas	Road does not exist	[64]
London	Clapham Junction to Clapham Common	Google/TeleAtlas	A TeleAtlas Easter Egg shows a road running diagonal from the main intersection of Clapham Junction to Clapham Common, through several streets, rows of houses, and a department store. Note: this is no longer visible in Google maps, which now shows the correct layout.	[65]
London; Mitcham, CR4	Rigdale Close	Google/TeleAtlas	Road named incorrectly - should be Mullards Close. Fixed after 2 years of complaints to TeleAtlas. Now fixed in Google Maps.
Longdendale	Woodhead Road	Google Maps	Not quite sure of this one, but it seems strange that the Woodhead Road becomes "Around the Peak District" and then eventually turns back into the "Woodhead Road" once it gets near Holfirth.	[66]
Loughborough	Talbot Ct	Google Maps	Road at end of Christie Drive does not exist.	[67]
Greater Manchester: Halebarns	two roads	Ordnance Survey Street Atlas of Cheshire	"Dobb Hedge Close" incorrectly referenced as "Bobb Hedge Close". "Ridge Avenue" incorrectly referenced as "Bridge Avenue". Image:DobbHedge.jpg Image:Ridge Ave.jpg Image:Easter-egg.jpg. Probably an Easter Egg rather than mapping error as the correct names are used in the OS Street Atlas of Greater Manchester - and this extract is very close to the edge of the mapped area in the Cheshire atlas..	[68]
Manchester 23	Nethercote Avenue	A-Z	Joins Blackcarr Road in reality but not on A-Z maps.
Milton Keynes	Hammer Road	Ordnance Survey Street View	"Hammer Road" is actually "Hanmer Road". Google maps, Bing have it right.	[69]
Nottingham	Cromarty Court, The Meadows	Yahoo Streets, Google, Multimap, OS 1:25000 (e.g., on Multimap).	No longer exists, as shown by Google Satellite view. Searching the council web site reveals this to have been hard-to-let sheltered housing. Currently a fenced-off area of wasteland. The road at the end labelled Hawthorn View on OSM (and Microsoft Virtual Earth) is called Hope Close on other maps. On the ground it is labelled Hawthorn View, but the buildings (not the road) on the west side have Hope Close signs.	[70]
Norwich	Winchcomb Rd, Waterman Rd, Wheatley Rd	Ordnance Survey, Google, Bing	Every map I've seen gets this wrong (see Google Maps link). In reality, Winchcomb Rd is the longest and runs around the outside, Wheatley Rd is small and just at the top and Waterman Rd is small and goes between Winchcomb Rd and Wheatley Rd. The road on the left is actually also Guardian Rd. This may be an error in the information held by the council, but OSM follows the signs found on the ground and the addresses that the postman actually delivers to.	[71]
Oakham	Catmos Street	Google/TeleAtlas and Local Live/NavTeq	Oakham is in the Vale of Catmose. This should be Catmose Street.	[72]
Oakham	Schofield Road	Google/TeleAtlas	Road running due east-west does not exist.	[73]
Oakham	Alma Street	Google/TeleAtlas	This road is actually more of Mayfield.	[74]
Oxford	Cecil Sharpe Close	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly named Cecil Sharpe Close. Real name is Cecil Sharp Place.	[75]
Oxford	Redland Road	Google/TeleAtlas	Street was actually called Redland Road until 1977, but the data should really have been corrected to Elizabeth Place after 30 years.	[76]
Oxford	Taula St	Google/TeleAtlas	Street does not exist, there's a house where the street is supposed to be.	[77]
Polegate	Polegate bypass	Google/TeleAtlas	There is an imaginary trunk road running through the fields.	[78]
Reading	Chatfield Court	A-Z	Incorrectly names Charfield Court. Real name is Chatfield Court.
Southampton	Oakmount Avenue	Google/TeleAtlas	Oakmount Avenue does *NOT* lead onto The Avenue. It is blocked by a 100-ft high pile of Easter Eggs. :-)	[79]
Southampton	St Denys Station access	Yahoo! Maps	St Denys Station is accessed from Osbourne Road South and Adelaide Road via footbridges. Yahoo! puts it some distance away, on the far side of the bridge, in an industrial estate.	[80]
Southampton	Woodstock Drive	Google/TeleAtlas	The road labelled as "Woodstock Drive" is actually a gravel access road. The real Woodstock Drive is just to the south (name visible if you zoom in)	[81]
Southampton	Woolston area	Google/TeleAtlas	Most of the unnamed "roads" in the grid-iron section to the left of the area are back alleys which look rather like wide footpaths. Maybe they do have car access but this map suggests they're the equal of regular roads....	[82]
St Albans	Carnegie Road	Google/Route 66 (old versions at least)	Incorrectly named Carnegie Drive (Now corrected on Google maps)	[83]
St Helens	Kyrwicks Lane	Google/TeleAtlas	Doesn't exist	[84]
Stoke on Trent	Hanley Road	Google/TeleAtlas & Multimap	This road is marked as a B road. It is actually the A5272. See this photo, showing both the street name and the direction sign, indicating that the road is the A5272. Avantman42	[85] & [86]
Stoke on Trent	Robert Heath Street	Google/TeleAtlas, Multimap, Garmin & other GPS satellite navigation systems	This street is a one-way street between Coseley Street & Chain Street (but not between Chain Street & Ford Green Road). Neither Google maps nor Multimap indicate that any part of it is one way, although they do indicate (correctly) that Chain Street is one way. My Garmin StreetPilot i3 and a friend's satellite navigation system have both directed people the wrong way down Robert Heath Street. Avantman42	[87] & [88]
Stoke on Trent	Wycliffe Street	Google/TeleAtlas & Multimap	Both Google/TeleAtlas and Multimap have this street listed as "Wycliffe Road". The street signs show it to be Wycliffe Street. Avantman42	[89] & [90]
Sunbury	Kempton Road	Google/TeleAtlas	This road, is now a cycle path and no longer has a name, if it was ever called Kempton Road.	[91]
Swanmore	Tankerton Street	Google/TeleAtlas	Road does not exist	[92]
Swindon	Tovey Road	Google	This road does not turn back on itself. The short part is called Tedder Close. Appears to be an Easter Egg as searching for Tedder Close brings up the correct location.	[93]
Tudor Close	Warwick Road	Google/TeleAtlas	Roads do not exist	[94]
Wakefield	Hatfeild Street & Back Hatfeild Street	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly named Hatfield/Back Hatfield Street	[95]
Wakefield	Kyrwicks Lane	Google/TeleAtlas	There's no other road leading from the end of Ivy Close at all - just a footpath to the corner of Ivy Grove.	[96]
Wakefield	Victory Lane	Google/TeleAtlas and others	The only people who're gonna find a road here are archeologists - small amounts of the road surface are visible, but to find most of it will require a shovel. All that really remains is a VERY overgrown footpath. I'm not certain the sections connecting it to Balk Lane have ever existed.	[97]
Waltham Forest	Evelyn Road	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly named Holly Grove. Real name is Evelyn Road. Google have corrected the error - so this this entry will soon be removed!	[98]
Walton	Burwood Park Road	Google/TeleAtlas	Road incorrectly named Burnwood Park Road	[99]
Ware	Walnut Tree Walk	Google/TeleAtlas	Road shown as a through route from Amwell Hill to Hoe Lane but, as the name suggests, much of it is only a footpath (legal status is Public Bridleway).	[100]
Ware	Wengeo Lane	Google/TeleAtlas	Road shown as a through route from Park Road to Watton Road but middle section is only a footpath.	[101]
Watford	The Harebreaks	Google/TeleAtlas, Multimap, Streetmap	Road incorrectly named The signs on the road just call this road Harebreaks except for the most Northern Point on the road.	[102]
Watford	Postoffice on Leavesden Road	Bartholomew	Postoffice in incorrect place (I think that OS maps older than a few years also have the postoffice here)	[103]
Weston-super-Mare	Bay Tree View	Google/TeleAtlas	Weston-super-Mare has two streets called Baytree View (historically one road but now split by a pedestrian segment). The northern portion has has one word split into two.	[104]
Weston-super-Mare	Banwell Road	OS Street View	Connecting the villages of Christon and Banwell, Banwell Road was diverted in the 1970's by the construction of the M5. OS Street View still shows the old route.
Weston-super-Mare	Francis Fox Road	Ordnance Survey Locator	This very short connecting road links two roundabouts. The street signs show it as Francis Fox Road B3440. On OSL it is the A370.	[105]
Weston-super-Mare	Oxford Street, Walliscote Road, Beach Road	Ordnance Survey Locator	This is the old route of the A370 but is no longer signedposted as such. The A370 now follows Carlton Street.	[106]
Weybridge	Abbotswood Drive	Google/TeleAtlas and OS Get-a-map	Northern spur does not exist. This could well be an OS Easter Egg, the "road" follows the boundary of a property. If the road did once exist it would have been an acute left turn on an extremely steep hill - very unlikely. In addition to my own observations, the St George's Hill Estate map confirms that this spur does not exist.	[107]
Weybridge	Castle Green	Google/TeleAtlas	There is only one Castle Green. Google thinks there are two Castle Greens.	[108]
Weybridge	Hungerford Square	Google/TeleAtlas	This place exists but is not a roadway. There is an access road from Horvath Close at 90 degrees to the road marked. Similarly the neighbouring Stafford Square roadway does not exist.	[109]
Winchester	Southview Road	Multimap,Streetmap.co.uk	The northern and eastern of three sides of a square shown as Southview Road are actually Compton Way.	[110] & [111]

Albania	Corovode	(footway and no signs anywhere)	map24	A footway with a suspension bridge in a bad state (holes in the surface) is shown as highway for motorcars.	[112] pictures on OSV
Austria	Vienna	Wulzendorfstraße, Hammerfestweg, Sandefjordgasse	Google Maps	Several footways in this area are incorrectly named "Wulzendorfstraße", "Hammerfestweg" and "Sandefjordgasse" (these street names do exist elsewhere in that area, and their location is correctly mapped on OSM) while in reality they don't have any names.	[113]
Belgium	Heverlee	Steengroevenlaan	Google/TeleAtlas	The one way Steengroevenlaan part from the Kapeldreef till the real Steengroevenlaan does not exist, it's a building. I think this is fixed. --Marnen (talk) 04:09, 1 June 2013 (UTC)	[114]
Belgium	Antwerp/Deurne	Baron Leroystraat/Alfons Schneiderlaan	Google/TeleAtlas	The northern road going to the Alfons Schneiderlaan is a dead-end. Now appears to be fixed. But Google shows a roundabout, unlike OSM -- which is accurate? --Marnen (talk) 04:09, 1 June 2013 (UTC)	[115]

France	Grenoble	various	Google/TeleAtlas	There's so much crap there it's not even funny. The small L-shaped "Rue de Stalingrad" and the P-shaped one are the parking lot of private properties. so is the "avenue Léon Blum" south of the green marker... as for the small S-shaped "Rue des Alliés"... Also, there's no way to go from either "Rue Alphonse Daudet" and "Rue Edmond Rostand" to "Rue Jean Perrin", and no way to go from that one to "Avenue Léon Blum"	[119]
France	nearby Verdun	Étang du Wameau	Google/TeleAtlas	IGN map 3112ET shows Étang du Wameau N 49.179966 E 5.352760. Google Earth gives two references! One at N 49.220020 E 5.334667 (4.5 km NNW) and another at the place above. Google Maps gives four references! Two similar as the above ones and also at N 49.086765 E 5.402043 (11 km SSE) and N 49.185324 E 5.347489.	[120]
Ireland	Dublin	Sandymount Strand	Google/TeleAtlas	Coastline incorrectly drawn - between Strand Road, Pigeon House Road and "South Hill", the map view shows an area of land, yet the area is clearly beach - it is possible that the low-water mark was misidentified as the high-water mark. Update: The coastline is more accurate now, but it's still not right - the land to the east of Beach and Strand Roads is too large - between Seafort Avenue and Lea Road, but especially south of the junction with Newgrove Avenue. There is a slight amount of sand that is above high tide in good weather, but it's not as large as the map indicates. Even the Satellite view shows waves in water over part of it.	[121]
Ireland	Dublin	South Hill	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly (and illogically) named "South Hill" - the names used by locals are either "South Bull" or "South Wall". Update: Now corrected to read "S Wall"	[122]

Ireland	Dublin	Dún Laoghaire West pier	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly labelled "W Pier Howth Harbour". Update: Now corrected to read "W Pier"	West Pier Dún Laoghaire, Actual West Pier Howth
Ireland	Dublin	Dún Laoghaire Harbour Terrace	Google/TeleAtlas	Incorrectly labelled "Harcourt Terrace". Update: Now corrected to read "Harbour Road"	[123]
Ireland	Dublin	International Financial Services Centre	Google/TeleAtlas	Shown to west of Amiens Street, when in fact it is to east: between Mayor Street, Memorial Road, Custom House Quay and Commons Street. Update: An improvement - now it's listed on lower resolutions as to east of Amiens Street too (though immediately north of Mayor Street instead of south of it). Remove the one to the west of Amiens Street, move the other south of Mayor Street and it would be fixed.	First incorrect location,second incorrect location, third incorrect location,actual location

Province	City	Street Name	Error Source	Description	Location
Ontario	Kingston	(Whole subdivision)	TeleAtlas	The most blatant error I have found. The map of this subdivision is completely wrong. It was probably derived from a preliminary plan of the subdivision which was later modified. Corrected on Google. --Marnen (talk) 03:46, 1 June 2013 (UTC)	[181]
Quebec	Quebec City (Saint-Émile)	Christiane	Various	Several maps (including one from the city inteself until it was replaced with a completely different service) give a Rue Christiane in the Saint-Romain/Estiembre/Sommeliers/Soret polygon. This street is even listed in the city's odonymic directory and dated back to 1992, even though it is inexistent.
Quebec	Montreal	Hawarden	?	Although this "street" has addresses on it (whose façades are on Souvenir or Atwater), on the ground it is an alley, and longer than what is actually shown	[182]

United States

State	City	Street Name	Error Source	Description	Location
Massachusetts	Lexington	Depot Place, Depot Square	Google Maps	One way, but not marked as such. (OSM had the correct one-way markings on Depot Square, but not Depot Place; I've fixed that. --Marnen (talk) 03:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC))	[183]
New Jersey	Throughout	Throughout	TeleAtlas, Navteq, etc.	Some county routes, regardless of class, are displayed as state highways. (TeleAtlas/Google Maps recently removed all county route markings except for some spur routes of 500-series county routes, all of which were displayed the same way state routes are.) Be advised that there are no routes in New Jersey with three digits that have 5, 6, 7, or 8 as the first number (except I-676 and NJ 700 (the legislative designation of the New Jersey Turnpike south of Exit 6); these roads are county routes.	Various places
New York	Albany	Austin Avenue	TIGER, TeleAtlas	Actually called Austain Avenue. Update: Google has corrected this. --Marnen 16:44, 20 October 2011 (BST)	[184]
New York	Albany	Crey Street	TIGER	TIGER import had a nonexistent street called Crey Street that forked off from the northern end of Lily Avenue. (I've removed it from OSM.) Google and Yahoo! got it right, though.	[185]
New York	Albany	I-787/South Mall Arterial	TeleAtlas	Google shows a western spur of I-787 on the South Mall Arterial under Empire State Plaza. In fact, only the mainline of I-787 actually exists here, the South Mall Arterial being unnumbered. Update: Google seems to have corrected this. --Marnen 20:57, 16 April 2010 (UTC)	[186]
New York	Albany	Partridge Street/State Street	TIGER, TeleAtlas	Actually called O'Leary Boulevard between Washington and Western Avenues, or so say the street signs. At higher zoom levels, Google gets this almost right ("Oleary"), but at lower zoom levels, the whole thing is labeled Partridge. Also, one block of State Street is one-way in the opposite direction to what Google shows. Update: oneway on State St is now same as OSM TomBrown 14:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)	[187]
New York	Walkill	Ohaire Road	TIGER	Actually called O'Haire Road.	[188]
New York	Yonkers	Ridge Hill Boulevard	Apple, Yahoo	Apple and Yahoo get this wrong in different ways. Apple shows the Thruway/I-87 exit 6A ramp (Ridge Hill Boulevard) connecting to Sprain Road west of the Thruway, while Yahoo doesn't show the bridge over the Thruway at all (or any development of the new Ridge Hill shopping area, it seems). In fact, Ridge Hill Boulevard crosses over the Thruway to connect to the southbound lanes, but doesn't go as far as Sprain Road.	[189]
Pennsylvania	State College	N Butts St	Google/Tele Atlas	Actually called N Butz st. Easter egg or naive mistake? Update: looks fixed TomBrown 14:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)	[190]
