I'm a real map freak - as a kid, I would sit for hours looking at various maps, especially topo and hydrographic maps

Funny thing is how the Apple freaks go into one of two camps - embarassed and quiet. or a few are going the 'oh it's going to be perfect and you Android/Google people are just jealous! We just have to fix it ourselves

In Chicago, they lost the Hancock and restored Meigs Field to us, but the most amusing error I've seen so far is that they misplaced the Apple Store on the Mag Mile.

Sounds nasty. Ever played with WikiMapia.org?

I have heard that they moved the Washington Monument across the street.

The font they use takes me right back to elementary school, back in the days when Canada was pink - cuz we're all socialists, dontcha know - and Burma, Ceylon, and Zaire were still known by their proper colonial names.

lol ... I had to check my atlasi? or is that atlases? ... anyway in the older ones Canada is pink, but then they switched to yellow... 'cause Canadians are all chicken, but probably still socialists so maybe Canada should be orange to cover both chicken and socialism

The big map of Canada we had in school in Canada had the U.S. as white with no details. I remember the teacher joking that's because all they get is snow down there. Also there were chocolate bars floating in Baffin Bay and the Beaufort Sea because the maps were sponsored by Cadbury.

Hummm cold chocolate bars ... to they harvest them? ; )
