Errors on iPhone maps.

[Osthagen]

iPhone maps shows a short stub of A6094 in Dalkeith to be under primary standards. In reality, no such primary section exists and the A6094 is non-primary throughout.

There are others, such as the M80 J3 being shown as having motorway restrictions (which is not the case), can you think of any more?

Not sure about Apple Maps in particular, but many mapping services get the primary status of ex-primary roads in Scotland wrong, as recently discussed here (good examples are the A91, A915, A93 sometimes, A941, parts of the A95).

Maps has the A66(M) marked as a primary-class road whereas all Ax(M) roads, by definition, are motorway-class.

I think the point is being missed here - none of the mobile mapping services are pretty hot on accuracy. Mistakes showing primary/non-primary/motorway status incorrectly are pretty common. Google isn't much better.

Sadly, though, not even OS is always perfect. The A6055 extension is showing as unclassified.

In fairness to the map-makers, road classifications vary from country to country and the map-maker tries to create a common standard for all their maps. Consider for instance the difference between "Primary" roads in the UK and "Trunk" roads. How does this correspond to say, French road classification?

[Berk]

Yes, I agree. When you look at it in that context, drivers should know what to expect.
