Without an explicit contract for service, a person could not reasonably collect damages for a map not showing that a road is closed.

The driver retains responsibility for the safe operation of their vehicle; regardless of the quality of the map.

"YMMV".

No map provider could reasonably operate with liability for transient objects or trap streets in the road.

Neither could an encyclopedia operate if liable for dated information.

A maps provider could indicate uncertainty when credible data contradicts the current model; but this is not the burden of service of a maps provider indeed with terms of service.
