About a minute later, a border control agent pulls up next to us and starts with the standard interrogation. Turns out, apple maps had been telling people to use a dirt road to circumvent a border control checkpoint - which according to the officer was a felony. We proceeded back onto the pavement and through the checkpoint where they waved us through. The dirt road wouldn't have been faster at all, so it was puzzling why it was giving those directions.
Not that this absolves Apple, of course, since they should absolutely be checking these things better.
A lot of these maps will have a couple 'tells' added, things that don't really exist to say that if a set of things was copied it came from a different place.
Really sucks when you happen to need to go somewhere you haven't been before, that's actually where that place is next to. Yes, that does happen. E.G. when relatives and friends live on private roads in the middle of nowhere.
