What happened with that chunk of land in Lake Michigan that appeared out of nowhere on the new map?

Insider here. Apple pulls in map data from all kinds of sources. Some of these sources exist in alternate timelines. Apple maps will be a lot more useful when the apple timegate finally launches in 2038.

This comment is too good for a mere upvote.

Maybe wrong interpretation of lake ice.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is often the victim of mapping oversights.

Maybe, but the map error is too large. There would have to be 20+ miles of ice from the shoreline. And why isn't there ice anywhere else?

How can they possibly miss that? I want to like their maps, since they browse so quickly on my phone, but it's shit like this...the content is just bad.

I was wondering the same thing, they even got rid of an entire lake.

Yeah that... definitely does not exist in real life.
