Maryland families asking for answers after map error causes confusion
Over a hundred families in Maryland have missed important appointments, due an error on the map that wrongly redirects them to a school.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. – Over a hundred families in Maryland are missing important appointments, including doctor’s visits due to an error on the map.
Instead of showing up to Montgomery County’s Department of Health and Human Services building, they’re ending up at Grace Episcopal Day School in Kensington.
“There is a glitch with the mapping system, and they are ending up miles from their destination,” said Jennifer Danish, head of school at Grace Episcopal.
About 6 miles to be exact and 15 minutes away with no traffic.
Danish who sometimes has to go outside and help re-direct families who are dropped off via ride-share of the bus.
“They think they are going to HHS of Montgomery County for all kinds of services, dental appointments, doctors’ appointments, tax issues,” Danish adds.
But when they put in ‘1401 Rockville Pike’ the pin brings them to the school.
Melissa Lafionatis, the director of enrollment and strategy, says in many cases English isn’t the first language of the families she’s trying to help.
“I was trying to communicate with this family via Google Translate and I thought that they were asking for an application for their small child, only to discover they were trying to get an appointment for prenatal information,” said Lafionatis.
They’ve reached out to county and state leaders, including Rep. Jamie Raskins; as well as Google to try to get some help.
“They have an option where you can move the pin on the map to move the location to where it’s supposed to be,” but the location is still incorrect.
So until they get some answers, they’ve put out signs in front of doors directing people to the right location in Rockville.
“We’ve translated into Spanish for them, so it can be helpful,” said Lafionatis.
Danish says she feels terrible – she understands it’s not her fault, but something needs to be done.
“These appointments seem really important, so we want to get this solved,” she adds.
FOX 5 DC did reach out to leaders of the county, and they tell us they’ve reached out to Google five times requesting the pin change, and they are waiting to hear back.

Buzz Williams has brought the number of new players joining the Maryland Terrapins next season to eight.
The Terps have the nation’s No. 8 freshmen recruiting class, consisting of four players including five-star small forward Baba Oladotun. Now, they have just as many transfer portal additions.
Their latest acquisition is forward Maban Jabriel, who previously spent two years with Queens University of Charlotte, a member of the ASUN.
Jabriel announced his commitment to Maryland on his Instagram account:
During his sophomore campaign with the Royals, Jabriel played in all 35 games, mainly off the bench, and averaged 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 19.8 minutes.
Shooting is Jabriel’s greatest strength. At 6’9″, he has the size to win battles close to the basket, but the Waterloo, Ontario native can score from all over the court.
Jabriel shot 49.5% from the field, 43.2% from deep, and 77.4% at the free throw line last season. The Terps can certainly use the help after being the worst shooting team (40.7% overall) not just in the Big Ten, but across all the Power conferences.
The rest of Maryland’s transfer class looks like this:
- Tomislav Buljan – power forward who averaged 13.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists for New Mexico last season.
- Robert Jennings II – power forward who averaged 5.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.3 assists for Oklahoma State in 2024-25 (injured most of last season).
- Bishop Boswell – combo guard who averaged 6.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for Tennessee last season.
Put together, the Terps currently have the No. 4 incoming crop of players, according to 247 Sports. That figure was as high as No. 1 this offseason and could rise back up with additional moves.
Maryland is confirmed to be keeping at least three players from last season: Rakease Passmore, who redshirted due to injury, along with Andre Mills and George Turkson Jr.
Pharrel Payne also wishes to return but is waiting for his medical hardship waiver to be approved by the NCAA.
That leaves Buzz with three scholarship spots to fill – either with more transfers or the undecided members of last year’s team, Myles Rice and Guillermo Del Pino.
Players only have until this Tuesday, April 21 to enter the portal, so a decision for both Rice and Del Pino will be made soon.
Maryland On SI will continue to cover the Terps’ transfer portal transactions as they occur.
