You could not make this up............Nicaragua has used an error on Google's internet maps system to justify an invasion of Costa Rica.

This reminded me of an old joke -

Quote:

Maine Winters
Some engineers from the U.S.G.S. surveyed some property and found that in a area, the New Hampshire and Maine border must be changed. They stopped to inform a farmer that he was no longer in Maine, but in New Hampshire.

After a long pause, he grunted and said, "That's good. I couldn't take another one of those Maine winters."

"I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It’s not on any chart, You must find it with your heart."

Albert Einstein - "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Martin Luther King Jr. - “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

Mark Twain - “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

A Google spokesman said that while it strives to make its maps accurate, "by no means should they be used as a reference to decide military actions between two countries".

I wonder if they'll include that in the Google Maps legal section from now on? Grin

Your just stating facts, Alex. Wink

It's true that Costa Rica doesn't have an "official" military, and that they have a relatively healthy economy.

This is an interesting series of events. Google provoked a war....how about that. Grin

I'm just surprised that elements of the internet have not caused a lot more.
