For starters, how did "Upper Great Highway" end up south of the "Great Highway?" Is the "Lower Haight" now located in the "Panhandle?" How do I get to Cha Cha Cha???!!! Stop messing with my universe, man!

Heading south from the Cliff House, the road nearest the ocean is the Great Highway until Lincoln, where the limited-access Upper Great Highway starts, and the Great Highway becomes a local street one block to the east.

Lower Egypt is north of Upper Egypt, if that helps.

errrr.... there is no N judah? i mean, where is greg dewar when you need him.

Good ol' San Fransisco.

[7] | 02/21/08 12:38AM

The lesser known "Sisco Systems"

if a missing n judah is the answer to the riddle, then where's all the other absent muni lines? i'm embarrassed to say .. i'm stumped!

I'd say, there's no inbound metro trains, and there's two "L" trains going outbound (where's the K and M?)

Is there really a Golden Gate Golf Course in Golden Gate Park? Seal Rocks State Beach on top of the old Sutro Baths? Seriously?

[11] | 02/21/08 08:17AM

Yes, there's a 9-hole par 3 golf course in GG Park, near the Windmill and the Beach Chalet.

Dunno about Seal Rocks State Beach, however.

"San Fransisco National Cemetary" = ouch!

"San Fransisco National Cemetary" = ouch!

Farms, in Berkeley?

[15] | 02/21/08 09:39AM

What's wrong with this picture? It's too liberal

[16] | 02/21/08 01:17PM

To sarah g:

"Cemetary" = ouch!

Not a single map label in the entire Sunset District? Never mind, I see they labeled State Highway 1.

[18] | 02/21/08 04:52PM

What is wrong with that picture?

[19] | 02/21/08 08:47PM

What's wrong with this picture is that it has elicited pointless responses with no follow-up from the original poster.

Resolution, please!

[20] | 02/21/08 09:43PM

Why should the "original poster" follow up?

4 posts by 3 posters have identified the most egregious error on the map.

[21] | 02/21/08 10:09PM

Sorry, I still don't get it, but then I don't travel west of Divisidero.

[22] | 02/21/08 11:07PM

atthebeach, you are dead right - all of us who live here in San Francisco really should have seen that error, which you should recognize if you live in San Francisco. Some might argue that if you don't recognize what's wrong with this map of San Francisco, you might want to move out of San Francisco. I mean, it's not like San Francisco is that complicated, or that San Francisco people don't read much, or that San Francisco is tough to figure out, even on a site about San Francisco.

San Francisco
San Francisco
San Francisco
San Francisco
San Francisco
San Francisco
San Francisco

The word has lost all meaning.

Meanwhile, it's fine on Google Maps itself and it's fine on the zoomed-in level. Muni can't spell.

Tempest, meet tea cup and this black kettle and pot.

[25] | 02/22/08 09:45AM

Argh! Figures I didn't get it, I can't spell either.
