@MikeElgan There's a music festival in small town Kansas that attracts people from the cities. Every year, the local Sheriff's office is all over Facebook warning people that Google Maps lies, and even your Suburbitank will get stuck if you follow the suggested route down an unmaintained farm path.

Sadly, Suburbitanks just ain't what they used to be.

@MikeElgan If I see this sign, I get a lot more curious to go that route lmao.

@MikeElgan
We've(USA) had issues with mapping programs, not just Google maps, routing people down rough two tracks who didn't have the skills, nor the vehicle, to handle those rough two tracks. Many mapping programs deleted those roads. I think they should have marked them as not available for routing.
