Massive Non-Existent Park in South Africa

[Rob Maclean]

Hello,

Firstly, apologies for mentioning this here - I know this forum is for more technical issues. 

I have reported this issue over 2 weeks ago via the 'Report a Problem' function (reference: C600-B9A5-69BE-8438)  and nothing seems to have happened so I wanted to raise it here as well... The map of South Africa has suddenly added a National Park (denoted by green polygon) apparently called Fahad Game Reserve that is on entirely the wrong scale and in the wrong place. The TeleAtlas Map doesn't show it. Please see attached.

This is not a minor error - it covers an area that is approximately the size of Belgium or Switzerland and includes several cities, so it definitely not a game reserve.

Again, apologies for raising it here but it's such a big error that I think Google's Mappers should escalate it.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi.

OK, sorry, it does exist. But it is small private game farm, not a reserve the size of a European country covering places like Sun City, Pilansberg Game Reserve, Northern Kruger National Park, the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site etc.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for passing along the info.  We'll look into it.

BTW, since our migration of technical Q&A to Stack Overflow, this actually is the right forum to ask non-technical questions or to discuss general issues.

Cheers,

Andres

Hi.

By way of an update, I see that this massive park now only seems to appear on one zoom level of the map now (I think zoom level 4). On other zoom levels it seems to be fine. Very strange.
