Yeah I mean it would have been good if google maps could have prevented this but like the same thing could have happened to someone without a map
Yeah, I mean, someone has to provide the information. If one day, there’s a full bridge, and the next day it’s deconstructed for repairs, Google can’t magically know; some information needs to be pushed out to be parsed and updated. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was simply done by construction co. without proper filing etc. very few nations have the extreme regulations that U.S. has - it's one of America’s redeeming qualities. Of course, that may not always be the case. But yknow.
I suppose it depends on the locale, but I'm my experience, the cities I've lived in update the gis maps and send change updates to Google very regularly, where they sit unimplemented for months.
Yeah I can see that being a problem too. Shrug.
