    Its just a pet-peeve of mine that this error has been in Google Maps for months (years?) and that despite the bypass and such things being corrected, its still wrong! And its not because its Kilkenny and I'm being pedantic for the sake of it, it's misleading for visitors as I would assume Google Maps is one of the biggest references of directions for people travelling. Also it is a service used by other services such as Hotel location websites, FourSquare apps, other location based mobile apps. And it's simply careless that no matter where you are in Waterford City it seems you are in Co. Kilkenny. Anyone agree?

    I agree. Its just plainly wrong and inaccurate, and I wrote to them.

    However, there is already a thread discussing this.
