Here’s a great funny blog all about Google Maps Fails I love it!

Ordnance Survey FAIL

Not suprisingly, this institution FAILs due to their innate evilness. They blocked this site from doing a cool thing with their maps.

You can read more info here from Gavin’s Blog.

UPDATE:
Gavin writes in the comments that the site is back up. Woo.

The guardian put Where’s The Path? in the top 100 websites. As a result, more than a few people visit it, incurring the “absurd” tile number restrictions that non-commercial OpenSpace users will come across.

Wheres the path, wheres the sense with the OS

This poor fella only lived down the road from his local store, but the route suggested a more scenic way.
