At first glance, it is only a minor error on the map. In practice, however, it can mean an unnecessary journey, wasted time and problems finding the correct address. The issue concerns Kamienna Street in Bolesławiec, which Google Maps shows in two different places.
The actual Kamienna Street is located in the Bolesławiec Zabobrze area, by national road No. 94, on the way out of Bolesławiec toward Brzeźnik. Meanwhile, entering the street name into navigation can also lead users to the vicinity of Kościuszki Street and the social housing units there. It is this second location that is incorrect.
A problem known for years
The issue of the duplicate Kamienna Street on Google Maps has been known in Bolesławiec for several years. In 2022, Bolesławiec City Hall announced that it would intervene in the matter with the American giant. Unfortunately, nothing has changed so far. Google still shows Kamienna Street in two places on its map.
Readers point out that people using navigation may be directed to the wrong place. Instead of reaching Zabobrze, they drive to the vicinity of Kościuszki Street and then have to look for the correct address.
Navigation may lead to the wrong place
In an era of widespread use of car navigation, correctly marking streets is highly important. Incorrect directions may affect not only residents, but also visitors, couriers and delivery drivers who are not familiar with the city's layout.
If a user enters the street name without carefully checking the location on the map, they may trust the navigation directions and go to the wrong address.
As of today, October 18, 2026, the problem still exists. Google Maps continues to show Kamienna Street in two places within Bolesławiec.
