I know this topic has been thrown around before about Google Earth accuracy
but I thought this one was pretty good not to share.  The attached
screenshot shows a business located 400 miles away in Alabama mapped just
east of little ole’ Port St Joe, Florida in the middle of the woods on your
way to Apalachicola.  When actually entering the address for directions it
thankfully puts them in the correct state and town.  

 

“Fun fact or trivial question” while I have your attention.  Do you know
which Florida city that the first constitution of the state was drafted in
1838 before becoming the 27th state in 1845?
