What an absolute joke. Google is not god. They cannot possibly ensure that all of their data is correct.
Give that the local government neglected this road for years without placing a single permanent market to close off the road, I’m going to assume that they also never reported the road as closed.
Legally, Google should be in the clear. Technically, I hate that Google won’t take such reports, because I encountered the exact same situation before (except I did not drive through)
- wslh 3y agoNot really. When you are the size of Google you should be responsible. If they cannot ensure that Google Maps data is correct they pay the issue in fines. I see very basic issues with Google Maps that are not addressed that make me think they are not caring enough about the quality of the product. I imagine that a company that produced so many cutting edge stuff could handle this kind of problems. They also bought Waze to have realtime information.
- corbezzoli 3y agoI agree they could definitely do a better job if they were benevolent, but keeping the whole world up to date is an immense task and it would be unsound to be punished for not being good enough at it.
