Oh, I can imagine. I was just pointing out that it should map with the correct spelling. That is why these comment boxes are here, to add information and point out mistakes.

I was just kidding around about the glasses, the eyes start to fail after too many hours in front of the computer. Whoever manages the updates is doing a fantastic job, a little mistake here and there is inevitable.

It should read “N. COUNTY Road W.” Not “Country.”

Country = bad mapping.

Someone needs to update the prescription on there glasses…lol :)
