I found a glaring error on google maps...
« on: November 12, 2009, 01:18:14 PM »
On Google maps, Pennsylvania is labeled Tennessee anywhere where it touches West Virginia.

I contacted them using the Report a Problem link. I wonder what they'll say?

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
