Yeah, that's the rub.

It's only a bit worse then some idiots taking a GPS route thru the mountains of Oregon in the winter, on a dirt then snow covered road and then getting stuck and freezing to death. That's just plain not using common sense.

In this case the folks had no clue that the destination was not where it's supposed to be. Apple seemingly has some huge bloody glaring errors that they, or whomever sold them the map data base, has not checked. I like my iPhone, but would not yet rely on Apple Maps to route me to a place I'm not sure of.
