Nicaraguan Army Blames Google Maps Error for Incursion in Costa Rica      

The web and modern technology in general is changing everything, including international conflicts. Apparently, tensions are rising between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, as one Nicaraguan military commander is blaming Google Maps for ordering his troops to enter territory belonging to the neighboring country.

Apparently, the Nicaraguan commander decided to trust Google Maps rather than the official military maps and moved his troops into what is rightfully Costa-Rican territory.

There, he set up camp and brought down the Costa-Rican flag to put up Nicaragua’s. He then used an error in Google Maps, which indicated a different border than the correct one.
