More woodland and an anomaly

Publicat per Claudius el 25 Maig 2009 en English.

Across the road from the local shops is a whole woodland area that needs proper mapping. I started yesterday by doing a few footpaths. There is an anomaly here which I still haven't figured out. Google Maps shows a road in this area called Koivulantie but I can't find it. At the same position in reality there is only a footpath leading to a small group of houses. What's even more strange is that the ending -tie generally indicates a major road. I wonder if this is an easter egg? If not, it certainly seems to be an error. In fact, Turku's own map at http://opaskartta.turku.fi/ shows only a footpath with no name.

Could be that they've used some preliminary city plans to draw their map and got the wrong name from that. Or it's intentional. I've seen some footways with a name ending in "tie", but they're mostly some really old and narrow roads that have since been barred from motor vehicles.

That's part of the point of OSM, we get it right, no easter eggs and and mistakes can easily be corrected. Ignore G maps and just record what you find.
