- The access road to the Mörlialp ski area was shown as closed on Google Maps, even though it is not.
- All attempts to report the error to Google were unsuccessful.
- After reporting by “Blick”, the map service has finally reacted.
The operators of the Mörlialp ski area in the canton of Obwalden can be happy. Google Maps had incorrectly recorded the access road to the ski area as closed – although the route was clear and easily navigable. Now the online map service has finally reacted and fixed the error.
According to Board Chairman Simon Furrer, the error had existed for several years. “I hardly expect that we will have losses because of this,” says Furrer.
The closure of the panoramic road on Google Maps has now been lifted, which Furrer is relieved to note. The cause of the incorrect display remains unclear. Contact with Google was difficult: “We reported the error, but received no response,” reports Furrer. The “Blick” editorial team, which reported on the false representation in an article, was also only able to reach Google’s voice robot.
