Google moves Piccadilly Circus to Zambia, forgets to tell Londoners!

by Matthew Ogston on September 18, 2007

I may be going mad, but a funny quirk on Google Maps UK last night meant that searches for ‘piccadilly circus’ on maps.google.co.uk resulted in searchers being told that the London landmark had moved across to Zambia. I tried a few spelling variations, but the same Zambian map was produced, see below:

piccadilly circus, Zambia - not the UK! - full map

I understand Google can sometimes get it wrong, but this is several thousand miles wrong!
