It has been specifically written in several posts above about this particular WELL-KNOWN error.

Next person to post about US X in Y, unless it's explicitly sexual, will have his or her name changed to "sr642".

KY 2565 is the old routing of US 23 through Louisa between KY 32 in town and US 23 south of town.

Driving down US 23 yesterday, and tracking my trip with the EveryTrail app for iDevices (which uses Google maps) I noticed that 2565 is co-signed with 23 well south of Louisa into Johnson County.

I already mentionned it in the past, Google maps corrected it once but they "recomissioned" again US-66.

I do not know if this was mentioned, but US 71 is listed on both old and new alignments north of Pineville, MO.  According to street view, the old road is signed as Business US 71.

Don't know if that specific one has been mentioned, but it is a known error -- not one that's been discussed ad nauseum in this thread though.  Google has trouble with bannered routes, namely that they don't show banners at all.

My favorite example (that I'm sure I have posted in this thread before) is Niagara Falls, NY, where three consecutive streets are labelled US 62.  Ferry and Walnut (the one-way pair) are US 62 mainline, Pine should be US 62 Business.

My second favorite is anywhere where there's a surface street labelled with a red, white, and blue Interstate shield (that's supposed to be a green one).

Maybe, we should encourage them to make other good mistakes like marking WS-99, OR-99 and CA-99 as US-99.

Google's been doing that from the start of having maps on their site.  It seems like they don't care about fixing it.

That kind of business interstate signage isn't that big a deal, IMO, since you can easily tell it's not the mainline. What is a problem is when the business route is a freeway, like green 80 in CA or green 40 in NC.

Or I-376 through Moon, PA.

I apparently live in Illinois... Haha. Pretty close..
I actually used to think Google Maps was superior to the others.. But this is just like... childish..

Brace yourself for a 4dus shield...US 1700 in Illinois?

(I know, it's very obviously county road 1700 along US Route 24, sumthinerother.)

[Takumi]

VA 162 is still shown on its pre-1994 routing when it still went through Williamsburg.

Or I-376 through Moon, PA.

I see nothing wrong with these at-grades.

NY 987F (Sprain Brook Parkway) is signed all of a sudden.

NY 987F (Sprain Brook Parkway) is signed all of a sudden.

Related but unrelated: NJDOT map is based on their GIS work (which I love, rather than contracting out to a mapping company), and that means every state highway has at least one shield. Including NY's reference routes.

I just got a long standing error corrected on Thursday: In Aiken County, the name of US 78 on Google Maps kept showing up as Charleston Augusta Road when it is Charleston Highway between Windsor and Aiken.

I am going around the CSRA, using paper maps and Bing maps to assist me, in correcting the other naming errors in Earth.

Not so much an error as it is a case of outdated information:

If you drag the little orange person to the 400 Block of W 2nd Street in Owensboro, Kentucky, the Executive Inn Rivermont can be seen in street view, even though Google's aerial map of Owensboro reflects that the hotel has been demolished.
