Google Maps - We're in Mexico!
My last few flights BOS-SAN Google Maps has show us in Mexico (just south of Phoenix) as we approached San Diego. Anyone ever noticed the map getting confused before? I know we get pretty close to the border but I don't think we've ever actually crossed into Mexico!

ELP-SAN usually rides J2 over Interstate 8, so even that flight stays north of the border.
Might happen from time to time, but for whatever reason, US airlines don't fly over Mex like they do Canada on northern routes.

It had a tendency to stick when I used it on VX. Had us parked over Ashland, Kentucky for nearly an hour, next update we were almost in St. Louis.
Also went off a few miles and pointing in the wrong direction. We landed 28L at SFO, but according to Google maps we were about to plunge into the Pacific while heading south.
No problems on the return ride though.
