Apparently US 20 now has a long multiplex with US 26.

I was going to post about this one.  It looks like the whole length of US 20 is also US 26.

On a side note, why does US 20 go 70 miles north and back south instead of staying on it's duplex US 26 in western Wyoming?

I-381 in VA is now back to being a "National Highway" again instead of a Freeway......

Why is US 29 in Greensboro continually marked as a conventional street on Google Maps (not even the odd expressway marking of half-conventional road/half-freeway that Google has used lately) when it is clearly a freeway?  Even some of the overpasses are mistakenly shown as intersections.

These are the same people that think Interstate 381 is a surface road. Take away the cartographer from the equation and that is what you get.

NJ 124 in Springfield, NJ is marked NJ 82 at its intersection with Mountain Avenue.  NJ 82 ends 1/2 mile east of that intersection.

I've gotten a flurry of responses to errors I reported months ago, all in the last couple days..  And all were fixed.

Evidently the RIRO intersections with neighborhood streets are close enough to interchanges to call the Kingery Hwy (IL-83) in the western suburbs a freeway.

Parts of it are a freeway.  Between 63rd St and 22nd St, it is a freeway with a few RIROs in addition.  It also becomes freeway between 16th St and the WalMart entrance.

For that matter, Roosevelt Rd (IL-38) is a freeway from just west of IL-83 to I-294.

Apparently US-62 and US-180 now have an even longer concurrency- from the Texas Panhandle all the way to the Ohio/Pennsylvania line..

What the heck?  US-30 is no longer signed as a Québec autoroute for its entirety?  Such a shame!

I can't remember where right now, but I've seen Google try to fit a whole highway NAME inside a route shield before, I think somewhere in México (for example, trying to fit "Villahermosa - Frontera") inside a little route marker.

It's nice to see that Guatemala City now has more than just surface streets.  For the longest time, there were no yellow or orange roads, just white.

Wow, Google seems to have corrected all the goofs I can think of off the top of my head.  Even some new ones I thought popped up ended up being correct–more correct than it used to be, even.

Orange doesn't mean freeway in Latin America.  Don't know what does.  It's very confusing.

In this link, WIS 64 is also labeled as 5 and a 1700 and 11500 are also shown.  so funny since these are actually a street name (5th ave) or address grid numbers :banghead:

It's not a highway, but apparently SeaTac airport is now "Aeroport internacional de Seattle-Tacoma" complete with an accent on the e. What is it with Google messing up languages lately?

Google Maps has U.S. Route 62 paired with U.S. Route !80 in Ohio.

Oh I didn't see that. My bad. Sorry for going Off-Topic.

I guess with the updated shield images, M-37 became US-37.  :-D

I'd have thought that as they were updating the shield images, it would've been a good opportunity to finally display bannered routes properly.  Google apparently disagreed.

Yeah, and they still show Business Interstates as normal Interstates...

Another highway that has semi-phantom status is I-65 between Peytonsville Rd. (TN-248) and TN-96.  It shows up fine on the map but Google refuses to route you on that stretch.

Now, that stretch is under construction to widen it from 4 lanes to 8.  So, maybe some yahoo at Google though it was closed!

Also, where future the TN 840 interchange with Carters Creek Pike (TN-246) will be, the new alignment of 246 through the interchange is shown, however, it doesn't quite connect at the north end.  Also, the old alignment is still shown even though parts of it are under tons of dirt!

It would, however, fit in the grid to some extent.
