Yesterday the image above made the rounds of the internet and in it we see a Android urinating on the Apple logo in a map accessible in the system Google Maps of those in Google. The image was published in a visible map in an area of Pakistan, the Google company publishing it without verifying it beforehand, ending up being criticized for carelessness.
Separates as if at the base a person who created these images and published them in Google Maps using the Map Maker system, the Google company not verifying what it published in the map system. Despite this, the company Google he withdrew the maps after the internet was filled with the image above, apologizing for the carelessness he showed, but that won't make the problem go away.
We're sorry for this inappropriate user-created content; we're working to remove it quickly. We also learn from these issues, and we're constantly improving how we detect, prevent, and handle bad edits.
Although at first glance it seems to be nothing more than a flame war initiated by an ardent Android fan, his action highlights a major vulnerability of the system Google Maps. I say this because if such an image was published in the system Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, who knows what other errors have been published without being verified by the Google company and some people are guided by them.
Unfortunately, this is the problem of those from Google it makes us wonder how many errors of this kind exist in normal maps for users and how long it will take until Google discovers them. In conclusion, when you discover an important error in Google Maps, you should think that Google did not act to bring it there, but rather the lack of action of the company from Mountain View was at the root of the whole problem.
