      In the case of paper maps, if they were notified of the bridge, and proceeded to publish a new version of the map showing it as operational, then yes, they should face consequences. paper maps don’t provide turn by turn directions though, so less safety critical.

          Realistically, a government couldn’t notify every single map maker, but my view is that the map maker should be obliged to act when notified.
