This is obviously wrong.

It could mean Google Maps, or it could mean they did a Google search for the information, and then wrongly sourced Google instead of the websites found by that search. In some areas it could also mean data taken from Google Maps satellite imagery that Google explicitly allowed the use of, during natural disasters. Be suspicious of source=google, it's a red flag. But it doesn't immediately mean bad data to be removed. > (1) http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3835343766#map=19/33.85088/-112.10980 > (2) https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=source%3Dgoogle >
