I know Highgate rather well, and approximately 50% of the street
names in this map are wrong. The renaming of Archway Road as
Britannia Crescent is a particular gem. Is Google maps generally this
bad, or was the data set for Highgate produced by someone who was
just about to quit?


I don't know Highgate at all, but in Edinburgh there is a "street"
called the royal mile I thought for years the entire thing was called
that so if I had seen a map were it was called The lawn market, The high
street, Cannongate I would have thought the map was wrong maybe (repeat
maybe) the "official name" used on/by maps is different to what the
locals call that street.
