An error on Google Maps has caused an international conflict in Central
America.

A Nicaraguan military commander, relying on Google Maps, moved troops
into an area near San Juan Lake along the border between his country and
Costa Rica. The troops are accused of setting up camp there, taking down
a Costa Rican flag and raising the Nicaraguan flag, doing work to clean
up a nearby river, and dumping the sediment in Costa Rican territory.
