rad Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Has anyone else noticed this? Whenever you search for a street, it comes up as X Street, Norton, Sheffield, S Whatever. Surely it would be more use if they actually had the proper area names on there! Anyone know why this is or if we can get it changed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris@25 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 It's a problem in their database, same in Google Earth, I've also noticed various place names in the wrong locations, and some really odd road names (look at the Snake). There are similar issues with other towns. They do say it is Beta, and there is a feedback form: http://maps.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=bug&submit=Continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckelina Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Stocksbridge isn't even named - they have called it Snowdon Hill. I have given feedback but don't expect anything to change! It is however a small blot on the horizon of what is a brilliant mapping tool. And loving the Google Earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookes Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 It will be better when local.live have done the entire UK as they have Nottinghamshire. Almost all of Nottinghamshire has been done in 3 dimensions. Not only that, you can view from north, south, east or west. Take a look, it's brilliant and so close up.

sugarcube Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 its much more annoying when the pictures dissapear because the zoom level is too high. happily not a problem with sheffield's images, beautiful high resolution, you can even see footballs on some garage roofs!!!! a little outdated tho, look down kelham island way. thats changed loads in the last few years. i love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullers Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Stocksbridge isn't even named - they have called it Snowdon Hill. Yeah I've seen that. It's also called Snowden Hill on Tomtom Navigator 3 software. I thought I must be missing something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
