OK. Now that you've reported it, check tomorrow to see whether they've updated the database.

From Michelle's link: "Users can report issues with Apple's Maps application on an iOS device by tapping the "i" button in the bottom right corner and selecting "Report a Problem." From there, users can notify Apple about incorrect search results, inaccurate street names, missing locations, problems with directions, and more".

I've seen errors in Google Maps over the years as well. I am sure there are plenty of examples of long-standing flaws in Google's data. Logic dictates that in this fast-paced, ever-changing world, there is likely no such thing as an error-free map. Likewise, I switched to Apple's Maps as soon as it was released, and have found it roughly similar to Google Maps in terms of map quality for the areas and cities I frequent - so similar, I can't recall the last time I opened Google Maps on my iPhone. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

Of course not while I'm driving. I don't take the desktop with me, do I.

You could be using an iPhone, iPod Touch, or an iPad. Apple Maps &
Google Maps are used on more than desktops.
