And that is not all they are demolishing.

"Internet mapping is wiping the rich geography and history of Britain
off the map, Britain's most senior cartographer warned yesterday.

Churches, cathedrals, stately homes, battlefields, ancient woodlands,
rivers, eccentric landmarks and many more features which make up the
tapestry of the British landscape are not being represented in online
maps, which focus on merely providing driving directions, said Mary
Spence, President of the British Cartographical Society..."
Gosh, some maps don't show absolutely every feature.  Who's have thought
it?  Thank you Doug "Sherlock" Bollen for bringing this to our
attention.

And, of course, it's absolutely unique to FatChavs/Internet mapping.
Public transport isn't at all subject to the same issues.

The tube map, for example, shows _all_ surface details of interest...

That's outrageous.  Gollum, I suggest you ask your mates to go and dig
up the body of Harry Beck(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Harry_Beck_(graphic_designer)) so we can blackmail the London
Underground into including all "Churches, cathedrals, stately homes,
battlefields, ancient woodlands, rivers, eccentric landmarks and many
more features which make up the tapestry of the British landscape" on
the London Underground map.- Hide quoted text -
