Google Maps is an incredibly useful tool for navigating and exploring the world around us. However, it’s not without its oddities. Some users have reported strange glitches in the app, such as roads appearing in places where they don’t exist, or entire towns being misplaced.
These oddities occurred enough that someone decided to start an entire subreddit dedicated to the strange discoveries made on Google Maps.
