The Lost City of Melbourne

Sunday, August 28th, 2016

It appears like there is a new lost city. Melbourne.

Though they’re trying to minimise it, the recent relocation of Melbourne Australia to the ocean east of Japan in Microsoft’s flagship mapping application is blamed on someone having flipped a sign in the latitude given for the city’s Wikipedia page.

This statement may or may not be the actual cause of the issue. One thing is certain though, it does produce a question about accuracy on other areas of the map.

As unfortunate as this is it won’t deter me from using the service in the future.
