Some map errors found on the Internet
This time I wanted to check what can we find on the Web sites. There is not much to the subject, I have found some old maps but no revelations. Accidentally I have found three images. This is map of present-day France. At last France moves its eastern border to the East. Such a typical error occurs when a presentation has to be done ASAP. Of course France is expected to be represented by the cities, but them again moved much too far to the East. Another typical press map error. Slovakia and Slovenia are frequently mistaken for non-Europeans as well as Western Europeans. Slovakia with an Mediterranean sea border presented on the picture above. Once again CNN. As we remember from elementary school, one of the southern neighbours of Germany is Switzerland... But if so, where is Czech Republic?
