....especially if you are planning military maneuvers

QuoteA Nicaraguan military commander, relying on Google Maps, moved troops into an area near San Juan Lake along the border between his country and Costa Rica. The troops are accused of setting up camp there, taking down a Costa Rican flag and raising the Nicaraguan flag, doing work to clean up a nearby river, and dumping the sediment in Costa Rican territory.

Yeah, I had a friend in Thailand who said they were having similar troubles with Google maps and their borders. GG can now instigate wars? ;)
