Google map error? Report?
I was trying to find a trail connecting to the highway system, and found that the road to Bahia Tortugas is shown as hwy 1. https://www.google.com/maps/@27.6803628,-114.3924698,73293m/...
Is this something that they need to have reported to avoid confusion?

The road going across from San Isidro to just below Bahia Concepcion I believe is 53 but it is labeled as 1 as well.

They also show the L.A. Bay highway as Mexico #12. It has always been part of Hwy. 1. There is not one sign indicating Highway 12. However, I welcome
any photos if they do change.
This wild labeling by Google is one reason I made my own maps and didn't use Google.

According to this Mexican government document it is labeled correctly. See item 34.
Plus, if you're confused by this, you are REALLY confused. Not you AK, just generally speaking.

Who knew?
I guess all roads want to be "number 1"! No room for confusion there..."Just head south on '1', until it intersects '1', then head west on '1' until
it dead ends at the water!

I think Google Earth allows people to add names of places to the map. It makes it difficult when you zoom in on some place and it says "Casa Ramirez"
or whatever. Plus many times a place name is nowhere near its true location.

Yes, I hate that!
Even the topos have dumb errors like switching names with the next place south (Arroyo El Volcán with Zamora and Bahía San Luis Gonzaga with
Ensenada de San Francisquito).

I wonder it there is a setting that keeps private places people add from my view.

yes you can report errors:
when in google maps, click "menu" and select "send feedback" follow the menu steps, it's self-explanatory. (dk, if you inundate them with 5,000
feedback reports i suspect they will put you on ignore list  )
there are other ways you can contribute to google maps, by becoming a "contributor," add to local guides, etc.
Woke!
