Still is at the moment, too, 3:00 pm Pacific.
Type in Canton, Ohio and you end up pointing at Massilon.
Gotta love the moronic conspiracy theories, too. I mean, I know High
School football is big down there, and Massilon's Tigers are
consistently one of the best teams in the state, but... really? Someone
hacked into Google Maps to redirect "Canton, Ohio" searches to Massilon
to give the Tigers an edge? Bahahahhaha.

Google Maps is now showing the hidden I-296 here in the Grand Rapids,
MI area. What's more, if it gives you directions along US 131, it will
tell you to continue on I-296 even though the signage for that
designation has been removed for almost 30 years. It seems we got a
highway number back, and lost a city?

Is that 'Elkhorn' as in 'Elkhorn, NE'? If so, that is also wrong - it should
be 'Omaha, NE', as Elkhorn became part of the City of Omaha a few years ago.
Anyways, another Google goofup - their Streetview images of downtown Appleton,
WI identify the location as being 'Little Chute, WI', a suburb.
:-p~

Well.....no.
I don't live in Occupied Elkhorn, so our mailing address is still
"Elkhorn" because that is the name of the post office that handles our
mail. (We have a Gretna telephone number.)
We are now within their "planning" authority, which is why we had to
change the name of our street from "Terrace" to "Circle"--part of an
incredibly expensive display of force.

In years past I have seen references to Colesville on I77.
I believe it is in the area where the old Union76 truckstop {now a t/a}
used to be. But it may be just an area that is unincorporated.

This is the town of West Bath. Arrowsic is EAST of Bath. They're off
by three towns. Previously, the city of Bath was labeled as West Bath.
Google also thinks ME-121 terminates on Frye Island, but it's clearly
depicted as being on the mainland. Town of Raymond.

You are probably thinking of Canal Fulton, which is signed at Exit
#111 (Portage Street) north of Canton. There is no Colesville and it
is definitely not signed on I-77. I grew up near Canton and never
heard of any Colesville before this Google Maps incident.
For what it is worth, Google Maps has introduced a lot of errors with
their mapping data change. I've been submitting corrections left and
right. The most egregious error I've seen so far, other than Canton,
is that it labels the part of PA that abuts WV as TN on the closer
zoom levels.

Same thing happened to me the other day in Google Earth.

I just reported that one as well. I never knew TN took over some of
PA. :P

They finally changed the name to Canton, but it still points to
Massilon.
