CA-159 on Apple Maps

[Quillz]

Interesting error I just observed...



State Route 159 Between July 1, 1964 and the time it was turned back to local authorities, Route 159 was the segment of Linda Vista Avenue in Pasadena between State Route 134, the Ventura Freeway, and Interstate 210, the Foothill Freeway. Prior to July 1, 1964 it was a segment of California Legislative Route 165 and signed as California Sign Route 11.

SR-159 was deleted in 1999, so it's interesting that Apple would have even have this error in the first place. It's not on Google Maps, or other similar mapping services. I'll keep checking and see if Apple Maps references other deleted routes, too.

Probably comes from TIGER.

On a slightly related note, Apple Maps still has CA-30 fully signed, as well as showing CA-66 extending westward to begin at CA-39 in Azusa.

CA 42 is still signed, and CA 90 follows Imperial Highway all the way to Vermont Ave. Former CA 86 is still signed while re-aligned CA 86 is still signed as CA 86S.

Apple Maps is pretty not good

To be fair, Bing, Mapquest and (soon-to-be-defunct) Yahoo all have the same errors with 30, 42, 91 and 159 and Mapquest also has the errors with 66, 86S and 90 - so I think the blame lies with whomever's providing their base maps (Tom Tom, Here, etc.).
