Errors in Apple Maps

I don't think Apple Maps has as many users as Google Maps does, but it has its own errors.

I know this route has already been mentioned, but could RI 100 become RI/MA 100? The number 100 is unused in Massachusetts. Its northern terminus would be at MA 16.

(Also, Apple Maps shows MA 100 as if it existed.)

Be careful with Apple Maps.  It shows DE 7 becoming PA 7, NJ 90 becoming PA 90, MA 7A becoming CT 7A, CT and NY 124 as still being continuous and still shows PA 100 connecting to DE 100.  OTOH, it shows CT 183 ending at the MA line and still shows CT 179 extending north of CT 20 to the MA line
(MA 183 is shown north of MA 23, but not between the state border and MA 23.)

MA 107A exists, too (in reality, NH 107A ends at the border).
NH 97 reaches I-93 (although it used to).
MA 295 (extension of NY 295; not an Interstate) is entirely absent.
MA 3A's southern section (ending at I-93 and MA 203) seems to continue into Boston on a road paralleling I-93.
I-495, exit 48 is the connector to MA 125. It shows MA 125 itself, but MA 125 is not three-legged.
MA 135 is shown going inside MA 128.
US 52 is missing from I-94.
US 62 is missing from US 180.
If you are not zoomed in really close, I-93 and NH 101 do not appear to connect; NH 101 seems to suddenly end.
NH 28 Bypass is shown as a "28" in a default route marker.
I-366 is still shown as VA 28.
MA 228 appears to go into Hull, MA. (I have no idea why MA 228 ends early; it really should continue.)
The map shows "Montréal" and "Quebec City". Accents should be consistent.
I-270 near Washington DC is three-legged.
Florida's Turnpike is shown as FL 91, even though it's hidden. (Google is guilty with NJ 444.)
NH 101B is now NH 27, but Apple still doesn't know.

#1
Shows RI 2 multiplexed with US 1 to the junction of RI 1A (almost as if they started to link RI 2 and CT 2 a few miles away and realized their mistake)
Shows a CT 35A in Ridgefield (hasn't existed since 1963), as well as CT 102 extending beyond its junction with CT 35 and ending at the NY line (hasn't since 1979).
Shows CT 34 extending as far as the center of Newtown, as well as a short duplex with US 6 west of I-84 Exit 10
CT 176 signed up to New Britain Ave (ends at Hartford city line)
CT 217 appears on a short multiplex on CT 66 west of its southern terminus at said route (but Jackson Hill Rd, which was part of CT 217 prior to 1962, is not signed).
CT 150 multiplexed with US 5 north of 150's terminus
CT 27 first multiplexed with CT 184 west of 27's northern terminus, then continuing north of 184 on Colonel Ledyard Highway to CT 117 (hasn't been since 1961)
US 5 signed down to State St. in New Haven to end at US 1 (it should anyway)
CT 122 extending past I-95 Exit 43 on 1st Avenue, then turning onto Kimberly Ave and passing back north of I-95 at Exit 44 and bearing onto Howard Ave to end at US 1.
CT 80 extends west of I-91 on Middletown Ave to end at US 5 (hasn't extended west of CT 17/I-91 since 1962)
CT 85 shown signed north of US 6/44 all the way up Tunnel Rd to CT 30 north of I-84 Exit 66
CT 190 shown duplexed with CT 75 south of its terminus and even south of CT 168 (168 was 190 until 1975)
Instead of turning onto Parker St with MA 21 South, MA 141 East continues on MA 21 north till MA 21 turns to go over the Chicopee River
MA 30 continues on Comm Ave to Kenmore Square, and US 20 is briefly signed east of Kenmore Sq.
MA 102 turns into an apparent 3rd leg of NY 22 at the NY border.
MA 1A turns into US 1 at the RI border so it looks like there's 2 different US 1's in Pawtucket (MA 1A turns into US 1A)
RI 5 is routed incorrectly.  Shows a brief wrong way concurrency with RI 7 to the beginning of Providence Pike, then is incorrectly marked on Providence Pike south of RI 104 (RI 5 and RI 104 do join RI 7 briefly but in a RIGHT way multiplex, then RI 5 stays with RI 104 to Providence Pike, where it does turn onto that road).
A second NY 29 exists on Grand Ave on Shelter Island over 250 miles from the real NY 29

NY 237 shields are incorrectly shown on the portion of NY 77 between NY 33 and NY 354.
NY 358 and NY 422 are both signed despite being decommissioned in 1982 and 1980, respectively.

I thought we had a thread on this too, but here are two that I found in Minnesota.

-MN 201 existing in Elk River (decommissioned in the 1980s)
-MN 23's Duluth downtown route still existing (decommissioned in 1997), which includes a double error in that the east end of the route is shown on a wrong alignment from what the route actually followed when it existed.

Pennsylvania State Route 560 does not exist in real life, but it exists on Apple Maps!
US Roads covered (especially Eastern PA)

I create fictional maps in my spare time.

Apple Maps is very inconsistent when it comes to former Ontario provincial highways. Former highway 59 is shown as CR 59 (which is correct), but other nearby examples like former highway 19 and 53 are shown as provincial highways even though they were downloaded almost two decades ago.

A particularly confusing example is this one below.


King St E used to be highway 8, but when the freeway beside it was completed, the highway 8 designation was moved over to the freeway. King St was then renamed RR 8. However, Apple Maps shows both as highway 8, so essentially you have 2 side by side roads with the same name!  :banghead:

As much as I wish many of these former highways were still provincial highways, they're not, and Apple Maps should stop showing them as current highways because it can be very confusing.

EDIT: I just noticed that there are 2 Tim Hortons' almost next to each other on my map above  :-D

The Historic US 80 shields in Apple Maps seem to end in the middle of AZ-79 rather than continuing on to US 60.
