GOOGLE MAPS HATES TWIN HOMES
Quote:
Instead of navigating workers to a duplex on Cousteau Drive in Rowlett, Texas, Google Maps took them a block away to Diaz's duplex on Calypso Drive.
"[Google's] mistake caused me to lose my home," she told CNNMoney on Friday.
Google acknowledged the Maps error in an email, and said it's investigating the cause.
"Google Maps did indeed show incorrect information for the houses in question," a spokeswoman told CNNMoney. "Both addresses were shown as being in the same location (7601 Calypso Dr) on Google Maps... the issue was fixed as soon as it was brought to our attention."
Google Maps now points to Diaz's home accurately. Apple Maps, Yahoo Maps and MapQuest also display the correct information.

Now, I've tried to help the Google Maps when I find a discrepancy. I've been refused at all turns. I can only assume the Google Maps just don't care!
