Google renamed Samos island to Macgyver!


Google made another -unbelievable but totally true- cartographic mistake as they renamed Samos island to Macgyver! Since yesterday, anybody who uses the Google maps service in search of Samos island, will not find it. Despite the fact that many users have saint e-mails of complaint, the Google Company did not inform anyone of them that they are trying to fix this mistake. On the contrary, the Greek island remains enlisted as Macgyver!
However, this is not the first time that Google makes a mistake like that. A few months ago the city of Xanthi, in Thrace appeared in the map with the turkish name Eskige, and it took them many days to fix it. Furthermore, a few days ago the Skopje flag appeared in a Google map next to the White Tower of Thessaloniki! The Greek google partners are aware of the problem, but they are unable to do anything as only the central office in the USA can change an enlistment.
