Google thinks the Greenwich Meridian is misplaced
I’m sure the error is no different from any other misplaced physical attribute displayed by Google Maps.
[...] according to the most reliable authority (The Greenwich Observatory press office – and if they don’t know, who does?), the line marking zero degrees longitude passes right through the observatory buildings and across the forecourt where there is a lovely sculpture on top of which happy tourists can pose, one foot in the east and one in the west.
Now what happens when educational institutions pull up data from Google Maps to use in class? Maybe Google should try and shift an entire city over 100 meters and see’s if anyone notices.
