A young father died when he drove off a collapsed bridge in Hickory, NC.
Google Maps had routed him across it. That was in 2022.
The bridge had collapsed in 2013. A user had asked Google to remove it in 2020.
Does Google have a responsibility to have accurate information?
Probably not a legal responsibility since there are plenty of disclaimers.
But you should be forewarned.
Google Maps is not necessarily your friend.
There a lots of mistakes - especially in the remote West.
It probably doesn't matter as much in Indiana -
where you are never more than a mile or so from help.
But it can matter in the West where a 50-mile backtrack
with little water or bad weather can get dangerous.
Most of us who have done a lot of touring have had our Google goofs.
YMMV
