Another one of your shady "definition in the middle" clues eh?

Heck, you'd already got the definition from the theme, so ... a little misdirection was in order!

Yes, but rule 2 is a tad more subtle than it seems at first sight!

Would you ever ask a map to tell you what road to take, or would you check the possible road and pick one for yourself...
Look at the map and find the road:
Google Maps[^]
Google Maps 'saw' a road (but Google Maps is not a vehicles only map) between E-470 and Jakson Gap St., can you?

Yep, here: Google Maps[^] If only this notice/barrier had been at the other end too! (Though who leaves a road in this sort of state[^] anyway... Surely at that point most people would turn around...?

Google Maps can't tell you the current state of the road. If it's been raining recently and the road is impassable due to mud, Google maps can't tell you that. The driver needs to take responsibility, and determine if the suggested route is suitable for their vehicle.

But the story really didn't give enough details to know what really happened.

The story gave all the information anyone needed. There was a long queue of traffic to the airport, so some people decided to try to find an alternative route using Google maps. That route happended to be very muddy, but the drivers continued anyway.

To get into a muddy mess requires mud. And there was even images of the muddy road on the clip.

For example, that mud could have been from anywhere. And getting into a "muddy mess" does not even mean they got stuck. If you drive through a muddy puddle you are in a muddy mess.
It's a piece of crap reporting.

I used to live on a farm and that kind of thing was common around there. I would look at the maps for my area and see lots of "roads" that were actually just dirt pass-throughs on a farm. Residents of the farms called them "avenues." They were not real roads at all and certainly not maintained by the government.
I blame the people who drive the scanning cars and think those kinds of things should be part of the map. I really don't think they should because the "roads" are not for public travel.

Yes, it is, because not all misinformation on Google is there by accident.
