    They do put a lot of “access roads” that are not open to the public.

    My new favorite is google maps telling me a route is shorter but it tells me it’s a toll road. But in reality, it’s a ferry across a river that’s only available certain hours during part of the year.

      Try OpenStreetMap, if it’s wrong you can edit the access rights yourself

      The reason we often have to tell visitors to not trust Google when trying to reach us, is that it often takes them into a really steep valley that is densely vegetated with prickly plants on both sides on the road, with water accumulated at the bottom in the winter and really large and long holes from the water running down the hills. If they don’t get the hint that maybe google isn’t always giving the best suggestion they risk getting stuck or having their car damaged.

      Lmao I experienced the same thing a few years ago, except it’s not a ferry, but an actual bamboo raft operated by the locals.
