State Streak - border pin incorrect

Lost my state streak at 48 when I was dropped by Capitol Heights Metro Station and selected Maryland, but the game decided it was DC.  However, if you look at the map itself and despite the red shading, the pin is still on the Maryland side of the actual border.  (This also happened when I was dropped on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee facing the sign that said "Welcome to Kentucky" - but we hadn't crossed the sign, but I didn't look quite as closely at the actual border line.)

  • This is a pretty common problem with DC/Maryland locations. I have lost streaks multiple times when the location is on a border road and the correct state could be both DC and maryland. The location above is one, another is the Eastern Ave NE/ 30th Street crossing which is both states but only identifies as DC.

    Either accept both states as valid or prune all these ambiguous locations from the challenge.

  • Again: These borderline placements are silly. But I'll try and guess DC for evvery one in the future...

  • Bonjour!
    Ce n'est pas vraiment une consolation de voir que je ne suis pas la seule à subir cette frustration d'une belle série brisée par une injustice, car le véhicule de google est en réalité situé sur la partie Maryland de la rue!
    Hello!
    It is not really a consolation that I am not the only one to suffer this frustration of a beautiful series broken by an injustice, because the google vehicle is actually located on the Maryland part of the street!
