WATCH: The Mystery Of Missing Israel On Google Maps

If you have an iPhone try to find Israel on Google Maps.

It does seem that Android devices show Israel. The browser on my Mac (as seen in the video) shows Israel. It appears that only on iPhones does the name Israel never appear, no matter what scale the map is set to.

Let us know if you find something different on your device!

iPhone browser google maps
Android Browser Google Maps
Android App Google Maps

Update: I checked the Google Chrome browser on iPhone. That DOES show Israel:
