I can see the borders of some countries appearing in the wrong location. Why is it so?
If the place is populated then the scale used for the map is 1:1,000,000. The horizontal accuracy is 2 km. If the zooming in is too close to the locality, you can see that th4e original border is about 2 kms away from where it should be. Since this data is not ideal, it is being seriously considered.Google, Google earth, Google earth plus, Google earth plus
