One of my favorite blogs, Strange Maps, posted an entry I submitted — Swiss International Airlines’s map of its American destinations, which is gloriously ill-informed about American geography. Apparently Hudson Bay is now a landmass, Sacramento is in Nevada, Memphis swapped places with Chattanooga, and . . . the errors continue. Just look at the map below. As a commenter on the blog noted, “Wow, this is almost beauty-pageant-contestant bad.”
I just hope Swiss’s navigational charts are correct, or else flights to “Pittsburg” better be equipped with pontoons.

…or these accurate maps of Europe – there aren’t misplaced cities but whole countries ;))
a) marvellous CNN map of Europe, where Switzerland is in the place of Czech republic
b) great map of Europe from USA TODAY, where Slovakia is in the place of Slovenia
