Finally Google Maps expands to Europe. First there was the UK and now the rest of the continent.
BUT!
I always had a hunch that Americans weren’t too involved in European geography. Especially the smaller countries. No problem there, but I would expect from Google to check and double-check their facts first. Take a look at this picture. (NO, it isn’t Photoshopped)

Steps to reproduce:
- Go to Google Maps
- Left Click on the map and drag to the left a few times (Europe is on the right…)
- Just take a look at the country next to the UK. What’s that spelled?
