Nothing in that presentation says that Google sourced the data from

I don't get why the assumption is this is copying from Google. It sure looks
like this user lives in the area, and has likely seen this interchange in

I see it shows up on google mapmaker, but not google maps except at high
zoom as under construction. Is this possibly entered both places by the
same person?
Regardless it should still be looked into.
