Narrative:
I was taxiing out from an alpha gate in frankfurt using my ipad with the 10-9 page up to display the airport (flying first officer (first officer) had his 10-9 page up; the international relief officer (international relief officer) had the gate area chart up [10-9B]. We were given N7 to left to 25C. As we turned left onto left; ground informed us that we had taken N8 (between north and left). He said everybody gets this wrong and wondered if the jeppesen pages were not correctly marked. On my 10-9 page none of the taxiways were marked; but after reviewing the gate charts we could see the N7 taxiway diverges to the left. The ground controller said it used to be a parking area and apparently still looks like one. He asked us to write this up as it is a problem for him every day; and maybe something could be done to fix it.

Narrative: I was taxiing out from an Alpha gate in Frankfurt using my Ipad with the 10-9 page up to display the airport (flying First Officer (FO) had his 10-9 page up; the International Relief Officer (IRO) had the gate area chart up [10-9B]. We were given N7 to L to 25C. As we turned left onto L; ground informed us that we had taken N8 (between N and L). He said everybody gets this wrong and wondered if the Jeppesen pages were not correctly marked. On my 10-9 page none of the taxiways were marked; but after reviewing the gate charts we could see the N7 taxiway diverges to the left. The ground controller said it used to be a parking area and apparently still looks like one.
