This is not the worst problem. I can cite two examples within 10 miles of my residence where electronic maps show roads that aren't really there. One is a grade level crossing of the local railroad yards. It was abandoned in the 1930's. The other is a cow path (really) that is mapped as a road running North to South between two major roads running East to West. Both of these cause problems with the Turn-by-Turn navigation program (Co-pilot) that I use. I've sent several notices to the software authors but they are still showing up years later.
