Here's another of these stories now common of drivers blindly
following their satnav, unfortunately this time, the driver drowned!

I looked up the place in Google Maps, and low and behold, all the
roads pre-reservoir are still there ! Thanks TeleAtlas for not having
checked your road network for the last 30 years (the reservoir was
built in 1989!)

So much for assured data quality in authoritative commercial datasets!

You can compare Google and OSM's coverage here:
