the-e-dealer Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I've just had confirmation that Google Maps now includes Waterloo East Station after I pointed out to them it was missing a year ago. - When it first started Southwark Cathedral was labeled St Pauls. Has Anyone else notice any local mistakes? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27253-google-maps-boo-boos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Pibe Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Apple maps has literally almost nothing right in our locality. I gave up reporting them after about the fifth or sixth establishment.

david_carnell Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I still haven't updated my os on my iphone yet for this reason.Are you able to get a googlemap app yet to avoid using apple maps? Am I going to miss anything by not upgrading os? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27253-google-maps-boo-boos/#findComment-599292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraferJack Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 You won't miss anything muchYou can get a web version of google maps but its clunky compared to the appI'd stick with iOS 5 until it gets sorted Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27253-google-maps-boo-boos/#findComment-599318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

first mate Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I was alarmed by how close google maps can get to your window- they can't quite see through....yet. How marvellous for local crims to be able to study exteriors from the comfort of their 'puters. I hear other maps will be even more detailed, surely this can't be right? Who will be the first to invent some kind of gadget that shields you from these corporate spies.

Huguenot Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 You don't need a gadget.Just find the view on Google Streetview that you are unhappy with and click the 'report' button. They will blur it. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27253-google-maps-boo-boos/#findComment-599407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Curtain Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I updated and live to regret it.Kent Woolgrowers shop has (since my upgrade-ha ha) relocated to a car park in Ashford just of the station, complete with vert ramps and grind rails, not a rat-trap or Barbour in sight.Though i'm quite moronically taken with the sat-nav that talks bit. The way he says "at the roundabout take the second exit onto the A20eehhhhhhh" is fantastic"Twent-aaaaaaay"Also, I know London like the back of my hand, but i'm fekked if I recognise any of it on my maps now.Is this an Apple thang ?Lastly, why did my contacts go weird on my phone but stay as they should on my mac-Hmmmm, anyone ?

first mate Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 H,But they only blur faces and so on don't they...not the whole of your house? Don't you have to give them an email address in order to get them to do this too..no biggy, but all extra info for the google meisters. Feels a bit like being the little animal at the watering hole and knowing you are being watched by the great, big hunter..

first mate Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Annette,Perhaps the "Twent-aaaaaaaay" is the result of an American pretending to be British, a la Dick Van Dyke?
