Word Of The Week: Mapocalypse

24/09/2012 by Wouter

Of course, Robert Cringely writes about the snafu with Apple’s iOS6 maps application troubles: “Apple’s Maps is so spectacularly bad it’s inspired its own Internet meme. Funny? You bet“.

But as always, it pays to check your facts before publishing. Even Google Maps knows about the “tiny hamlet in Austria where every street name starts with the F word” – because that hamlet does exist in the real world! Just check the Wikipedia: Fucking, Austria.

Then ask yourself: why does Google Maps call the streets in that hamlet “Hucking” ? Creative spelling indeed!
