Google should just draw a zigzagging line in the middle of the disputed terrain and be done with it.

It's not a disputed land really, the official maps for both Costa Rica and Nicaragua show the area belongs to Costa Rica. Blaming Google Maps is a bit of a red herring from the nicaraguans.

Some areas have a dotted line for administrative borders.

For example, Kashmir: http://goo.gl/maps/y58a

FYI, I was making a joke regarding the situation Google is in. Don't really know if you're just trying to be informative or if you're correcting me or something :)

In maps.google.co.in it's not marked with dotted line .

You're right, very interesting!

And China has its own take on the border as well:

I couldn't find a Google Maps site for Pakistan, but am wondering if there are any other countries that might take issue with the borders here?
