Ever taken a
wrong turn when following
a map? It may be the map's
fault and not yours…
"Trap street" is the term mapmakers used to
refer to the deliberate inclusion of a fictitious
road or highway in a map. A famous example is
the 2001 claim advanced by the Ordnance
Survey, the United Kingdom government
agency responsible for all U.K. national maps,
against the eminent Automobile Association
(AA), one of the world's oldest motorist
organizations. The Survey received a £20
million ($32 million) settlement when it
established that the AA had copied its work
without permission for the use of AA members.
