And the map databases aren't necessarily great at distinguishing things at the edges
Very true. I once had Apple Maps direct me down a one-lane road that turned into gravel 20 miles later, then into dirt 20 miles after that, and then eventually became just ruts in the sand used by horses and mules.
I'm sure it was used as a "road" to calculate distances between places, but it was in no way a road.

- reaperducer 4y agoThis was in an area where dirt and sand roads are more common than paved roads, so it made sense to follow the arrow until it became a track.
