Google maps gets it spectacularly wrong: http://tinyurl.com/3xt2cke


Google maps, or rather Tele-Atlas who provide their London maps, can't
even show above-ground Underground lines properly on the basic maps,
let alone the coloured line overlays that you're referring to. The
District is shown from Ealing Broadway to Ealing Common, and then
disappears.


err, that's the one I mentioned above.


When I clicked on your link, I got a satellite view overlaid with green
and red District and Central Line tracks that merely joined stations
with nice curves, ignoring where the actual railway goes. I assume that
was what you meant by "spectacularly wrong". I was referring to the
representation of the District Line in map view (not satellite view),
which is omitted "east" of Ealing Common.
