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.
Are you referring to the tech guru from Cnet who died around the back of Mt Washington several years ago? That was one bad advertisement for this kind of technology, but it seems everyone tuned out on it.
