There are a lot of recent road number changes in Aberdeen that were discussed in Digest recently, here are just a few of them. 1 = The B9119 is now the A9119 (a new highest 'A Road' number in Great Britain), 2 = The B985 has been moved to a completely different part of the city and now runs to the Altens Industrial Estate, 3 = The B991 has changed its route, 4 = The A9013, A9012, A9011 and A978 have all been downgraded to unclassified minor Roads, 5 = The B988 has been created on the line of what was an unclassified minor road. All of these changes and many others are shown on the latest OS (online maps) and the OpenStreetMap. As A-Z have failed to correct any of the other errors that were on the 2021 atlas then I would guess that they also haven't included these changes (very disappointing). Also I agree that the lack of junction detail on some pages is a step backwards.

Oh dear:

B9119 still shown as B9119 on main map and city-centre zoom-in - BUT Google also agree!
B985 shown on the city-centre zoom-in as Rose Street, heading north from Union St.
B991 shown as Bedford Road in the city-centre zoom-in.
A9013 shown as Union Street in city-centre zoom-in
A9012 not marked as such on either map (insufficient detail on main map?/zoom-in not large enough?)
A9011 not marked as such on either map
A978 not marked as such on either map
B988 not marked as such on either map
