Ah, yes phantom roads on maps- And now google adds phantom place names e.g. at Belize and Honduras border crossings to confound the traveller not alert enough to read the actual town name plaques as they ride in.
On Roji and Quimera maps for years you could see a road connecting east from Acapulco to link back up with Mex 200- never mind that there was a bridge missing rendering that route a no-go until last year.
Even in the USA there are maps which show roads doing things you can not follow on the ground or they miss mentioning a big loop around a military or nuclear power installation- for strategic and security reasons? - never mind that everybody can see those features any day.
All the more reason to use several maps and "average" their information.
As for electronic navigation guides- for the muddle minded who had best stay home.
Too lazy to learn to distinguish north,east south and west they appear to send folks on a left-right cruise.
