Saw an article posted about Tim Cook calling the launch of Apple Maps his first big mistake which reminded me of this.

But that’s literally the directions to the 280N on ramp from DeAnza

They installed a ramp. Is not only safe, but rad

Gives me fond memories of the early days when Google maps would tell you to jet ski across the South China Sea from the Philippines to Vietnam or kayak across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii 😄

guess i’ll die 🤷

Reminds me of this story https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-long-way-home/

Cook added: "Now we've got the best map app on the planet"

Who's going to break the news to him?

Yeah, it was revealed that it’s a valid turn but the icon lacks the detail to explain why.

Either way, they completely changed it to the highway that runs beside Apple Park.

In less funny news, Google Maps once told me to walk onto a freeway off-ramp.

Yeah, It's a bridge with a left turn freeway onramp. It's a thing, at least in California. Not all onramps are those clover leaf right hand loops.

So there was no on-ramp there but AppleMaps decided there was?

There is an onramp, the directions are just poorly worded.
