Looking at Google Maps today, I noticed that they added the subway
stations in Toronto, Canada. But most of them are in the wrong place -
sometimes up to 2km away from the correct location - or missing
completely.

Compare to OpenStreetMap, with the correct subway station locations:

Sent an email to Google but it will probably take months to correct.
In the mean time OSM will get a lot of new mappers in Toronto. :)
