well I just heard on the radio that google maps is now showing historical pics of what areas looked like... you can put in a time period and it will show it in street view.
Now if they can only fix regular maps.
My home is now located in a different town according to them. This happened a few months ago. As I type my address in a directions it always tells me I am in the next town. If I just search on my own address and put in the full town , it still comes up with the other town name. Frustrating, I have reported the problem and nothing has been resolved.
I tried mapping another address and it tells me it doesn't exist. Hmmm. I know it exists, I was just at it. It offers me other addresses around it, but that one does not exist. I did a street view and saw the address as I moved back and forth.
I'm realizing that google has gone off the deep end. When using the search engine, I find them showing me commercial offerings first. I could not get to something I was looking up after going through 20 or so pages. I found it using another search engine. After finding the exact words in the page, I used it in google, and it still erred on the side of commercial offerings. I realize that their engine is geared to the most hits, but many of these hits were not even close.. and that's the problem, they are stretching it even though I have double quoted my search string.
This doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough, that I think google has run it's course for me. I was an early adopterwhen I discovered their simple splash page.. But now, I am often frustrated by it. They think you don't know what you are looking for and want to do it for you.
Are any of you finding yourself in the same mindset?
