Due to Apple Maps errors, a family in the United States continues to receive all kinds of express deliveries
CTOnews.com, December 17 (Xinhua)-- due to a mistake in Apple Maps, a family in the United States continues to receive express deliveries. Citing local media wfmynews2, Sharon Sharon Denny and her husband bought a house in Kernersville, North Carolina, in 1978, where they have lived for more than 40 years.
CTOnews.com learned that about a year ago, there would be some tourists on her doorstep. "several people come every week, sometimes several people a day," says Danny. Her husband inquired and found that the tourists were going to the shopping mall "1323 Highway 66", but Apple Maps would navigate to "1323 Mountain Street", her home. The two locations are four miles apart.
In the past year or so, some people have come to ask if this is a tattoo shop; others have asked if it is possible to beautify dogs, and even received all kinds of strange delivery items, including bathtubs. This confusion has also caused problems for enterprises in the "1323 Highway 66" shopping mall. The goods originally intended to be sent to the dog beauty parlor and the tattoo shop ended up at Danny's door.
The shopkeeper and Danny said it all started when the city changed the address of strip mall from 1325 US 66 to 1323 US 66. The problem is that Mountain Street is also the US 66 Magi Apple Maps can't understand the difference.
Apple fixed the problem a few weeks after Danny contacted the local radio station News 2.
