Before I started randonneuring, I once did a ride around Lake Ray Hubbard, about 55 miles. I mapped out the route using internet maps.
I got over there to one place, and came to a Tee. Where the map showed a road, there was a gate. I think it's this location here, the map STILL shows a through road here!

Then I got down to another spot, and a bridge was out. Out, as in, been missing several years with no plans to rebuild it. Internet maps showed the road going across. But it just didn't. At least that's been fixed on the maps now, though. That cost me about 3 extra miles, as I recall.
