- marsrover 7y agoI was wondering the same thing, they even got rid of an entire lake.
- torstenvl 7y agoYeah that... definitely does not exist in real life.
- jacobwilliamroy 7y agoInsider here. Apple pulls in map data from all kinds of sources. Some of these sources exist in alternate timelines. Apple maps will be a lot more useful when the apple timegate finally launches in 2038.

- stock_toaster 7y agoDon't worry, Titor will upvote on his next pass through.
- maxerickson 7y agoMaybe wrong interpretation of lake ice. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is often the victim of mapping oversights.
- nslocum 7y agoMaybe, but the map error is too large. There would have to be 20+ miles of ice from the shoreline. And why isn't there ice anywhere else?
- maxerickson 7y agoNothing unusual about high ice cover there. https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/data/ice/historicalAnim/ https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/data/ice/historicalAnim/
- nslocum 7y agothat's awesome, thanks for sharing. It's amazing how much variability there is between years
- 24gttghh 7y agoHow can they possibly miss that? I want to like their maps, since they browse so quickly on my phone, but it's shit like this...the content is just bad.
