Marker of the week

My favourite new entry on the map of strange this week is this one.  It’s basically an error with the map.  The image has been distorted and it’s made this field appear striped.

This is a really good example of when the joins between two parts of the map goes wrong.  It’s not just one of those where there seems to be a shadow, or where the resolution changes.  Instead it’s a real example of when things go wrong.  Google Maps isn’t perfect, and in some ways it’s these idiosyncracities that make it so interesting.
