Here’s yet another failure of Google Maps<\/a> in my area. Not only is my address<\/a> not found (it worked just fine in the past but now has the street name listed incorrectly), my ZIP+4<\/a> alone doesn’t work, and now 22 Mile Rd.<\/u> shows up improperly in Street View<\/a> as 20 2 Mile Rd.<\/u>.<\/p>\n

I just submitted the following bug report to Google about this:<\/p>\n

Google Maps lists 22 Mile here properly, as the name '22 Mile Road'. When in Street View this is listed as '20 2 Mile', which is wrong.<\/tt><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’ll see how far it goes. My last few bug reports, while acknowledged as correct and noted as being fixed in future releases, have resulted in only one fix that I can validate myself; more appropriate naming of roads on the GM Tech Center campus. It’s now been months since I reported my address as not working and it’s still not right. There are also problems where a local highway and surface road with similar names are sufficiently confused to make businesses appear along the wrong road. As can be seen here a bunch of locations are incorrectly placed roughly one mile east of their actual location<\/a>. This too has been reported, and not fixed.<\/p>\n

I currently use (and rather like) a T-Mobile G1 Android-based phone and I like it enough that I’m seriously considering buying a Nexus One<\/a> when it launches. However, terribly inaccurate local data including not having my home address available limits some of the major selling points of the phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
