Chile: Google Earth moves a village to Argentina
The Chilean government wants Google to fix its Earth geographical search program that places a village named after Chilean independence hero Bernardo O’Higgins in Argentina.
The satellite image shows Villa O’Higgins, a tiny hamlet 1,000 miles south of the Chilean capital, Santiago, on the Argentine side of the border.
“Chile has asked for this to be rectified, and it can only be hoped they do it soon,” a Foreign Ministry spokesman in Santiago told Reuters on Saturday. He declined to say when the complaint was filed.
Chile and Argentina share the southern cone of South America, where the border between the two nations runs through a complex landscape of islands, fjords and mountains.
