Mistakes in Hemispheres magazine's route map
I was bored on my flight today and perusing the route map in the July Hemispheres and noticed a number of mistakes:
SEA-YVR still listed as a UX route. This has been an AC Jazz only route for a while now.
SEA-PSC still listed as a UX route. UA doesn't fly this route anymore.
LAX-BOI not shown. This route has been active for at least a month if I'm not mistaken.
MDW-IAD not shown. I realize it's being cut, but not until September, so no reason it shouldn't be on the July map.
ORD-ANC not shown. I know it's seasonal, but it should still be on there.
Those were just the ones I noticed off the top of my head, there's probably more. Seems like a pretty easy thing to stay on top of. I'm guessing UA probably cut the staff in charge of this type of upkeep

Among other mistakes, they also list CDG-SFO as a route, but it was cancelled some time ago.... I think they must have laid off the editor of the route map during bankruptcy!

Every week I look at that route map dreaming of where I will go with my miles (especially when the had the IAD ATW program) I always take for granted that I can go any route a line lands.
Never mind proofreading, I have trouble following the lines across the page break

DEN-RFD It says Ted service but we know it's express. This is one route where I wouldn't mind seeing Teddy.

Is it printed on the page when exactly that route map was an accurate representation of UA flights? If not, can you place it?

it would be nice if the website had the same map with all the route lines. I find it useless to look at those maps to find out exactly where UA goes instead of a codeshare, and surprise, they go everywhere! (useless)

Also, I don't know about hempspheres, but the website for some time has shown Flint, MI (FNT) as a destination... there is no UA service or any *A carrier there.

I keep chuckling because TLL (Tallinn, Estonia) is missing from the European Map. Both LH and SK fly there.

Missing SQ nonstop service from US to SIN
I've also noticed that SQ's LAX-SIN and JFK-SIN flights are not listed as Star Alliance routes on UA's map. Do you think UA doesn't want flyers to know that they can fly non-stop to SIN from the east and west coasts?
