  • Perfect example of Google maps issue, is that we did Grampians on the weekend here in Australia. And, it still had a road/track which had been completely deleted (probably long ago). And it wasn’t on any other maps… There was a rusted sign that had been long removed and sawed off sitting where the route clearly used to be, but no sign of route anymore

    These days, most people tend to just use AllTrails or Avenza because they’re convenient. For Thru hiking (really long hikes), people tend to use products (apparently) like Captopo which better facilitate planning, tagging on long hikes and time calculations (I am hoping to do a thru hike soon).

    In practice though, stolen untested routes used in Alltrails present their own problems though, as, the Alltrails team don’t actually check if the routes are safe or correct. I suspect they just steal them from other sources. But, for most people, its great as its convenient

    OpenTopo/Openstreetmaps are commonly used as the source for a lot of mapping systems though, as it tends to be up to date and accurate in most places. (i use it on my garmin etrex 32x as a backup). I was also advised to use Strava Heatmaps on a hike I am planning to do to find water in certain locations, however, I use GPX Map viewer Pro, and use people I trust for routes if possible (or make my own).

    Google Maps is great for roads, but, the data simply isn’t that accurate for anything else. And, there is no good way to report bad hiking routes. With OSM and other things, they can be fairly easily fixed






  • I think that’s the exact same thing they hit me with.

    The crazy part is that i don’t think I’ve even dated a local in years here (my last girlfriend was Chinese, and my previous one Pakistani) I have a lesbian family member, and we have plenty of gay and trans people who I hang out with most weeks in my climbing group. And I lived in a Muslim country for years

    I’m the first one always telling others to let courts handle everything too and (yep, even Trump), and reporting all the subtle violent threats on Facebook people make and argue with them publicly that they’re being a**holes

    It doesn’t seem uncommon for people to get incorrectly accused it seems there either

    I didn’t even abuse anyone to the best of my knowledge.



  • Jesus. Who is actually up voting this?

    The name of the charge in some countries is use of the phone when driving… and that includes carrying it on your lap. It’s possible despite the description it’s just the description they use

    There’s a fucking photo of her with it on their lap. That’s proof

    This is just some wanker playing victim. And, I guarantee they play victim constantly. Can we not act like babies about this and try to protect the weasels?

    It’s 2026 and most people have Android Auto or car play at this time. It’s not like there is any excuse.

    It’s fair for the one that turned out wrong, but in this case, seems it’s correct.

    Also, it’s some shitty random website, so I guarantee the info is partially wrong too. There is already one correction that it wasn’t flock

    If it was the police who pulled these people over, they’d be arguing with them too
