VIRTUAL ROAD TRIP  TR Wall - May 19, 2013 - Report this comment

I'm a great fan of the Road View experience. I do tutoring where I live and one day was introducing another resident to Google Maps. We ultimately spent hours visiting our old neighborhoods, my showing him the house where I grew up and where we rode our bikes from one place to another our touring his. Weeks or maybe even months later I met up with him telling another neighbor a story about his hometown and he mentioned a landmark or two. These were so clear in my mind's-eye I wondered for part of a second when was i there? I remembered the night we took our "virtual road trip" and am amazed that was my only time actually spent there! I continue to utilize this app and was motivated to post after finding myself in one of the images tonight! i wanted to make a picture of a difficult to describe pedestrian alley near where I live and as I scrolled around and got the location, there was the photo of me, although my face is pixelated, riding my bicycle, coming out of the alley onto the city street. That right, folks, Big Brother is watching! I don't know how often this particular satellite image may be updated so I snagged it for .... personal reasons! It's my opinion that Google Maps is another incredible untapped resource and amazing in that it is available to anyone who wishes to access it and for FREE.

Google Maps doesn't recognize where I live either and it's been here for 40 years. But that's ok. I like that

lol at the one who says they have lived there 13 years and google still cant find them.. . Type your address in and fix where the marker shows up.. geeze. Google maps is a great program. I'm consistently going to new residences and It takes me accurately to 14/15 of them.. right to the front lawn. The ones that it dont.. guess what? I fix it so the next time someone tries it will.

Is shockingly bad. I can't tell you how many times I've been lost, missed an exit, been cut off at a crucial turn in regards to getting voice guidance... how many dangerous situations I've been in. IN NEW YORK CITY... which, you'd think, would be the last place these issues would occur. I literally use YELP's GPS as it's far and away better, safer, and does not tell me to turn literally when I'm at the fork going 60 mph.

phone GPS  jen godsell - May 17, 2013 - Report this comment

i have been using my phone's GPS and i like it better then my GPS itself... i went from NYC to mass and it took me through the highway and then the back road when i changed the setting it also took me through the fastest way and showed the traffic... when the GPS took me the longest way and it took 6 hrs on the GPS and it took me 3-4 hrs on my phone

Lived here for 13 years and address still doesn't exist in googleland   - willowyndranch@willowyndranch.com - May 14, 2013 - Report this comment

It's becoming extremely frustrating that all the delivery companies insist on using google maps - as for the past 13 years we continue to have to tell them to use mapquest, because google can't even locate the city when put entered, instead giving directions to a street in Los Angeles 400 miles away that has the same city name of "Davis". Totally ignores the zip code too. Absolutely less than worthless in my opinion, because deliveries are constantly delayed and no way to get google to recognize the address.

Perhaps list written accurate driving directions and eliminate Google maps. T'his is of better service to your patients and their visitors.

if you google directions to my job you get sent across the freeway to where? GOOGLE people call us frantically because they followed the directions and they cant figure what went wrong then i tell them following the map thats where you went wrong.(but i still love google maps no-thing can be perfect )

I have put in the directions twice to a site that is 20 miles from my home and it continues to direct me to the State Capital. I just can't use it!

Inaccurate Satellite Points & Locations   - Nana Ann - May 6, 2013 - Report this comment

The coordinates shown on Google for my home are used by FEMA. These coordinates show that I live under a bridge. I assure you I do NOT live under a bridge. Main problem, these coordinates and maps are actually used by FEMA to map flood planes. So, according to FEMA I live in a flood plane. I don't. If I lived under the bridge as Google shows, I would live in a flood plane, however I live in a house a good 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile away from the bridge. Sure wish they'd fix this. So far it's cost me about $500 to prove otherwise.

A fantastic App. Saves me a lot of time looking for a paper map, or map book which is always in the back seat of the car. Just enter source (saved) and destination address, then make changes if desired to the route, then print out directions. Then take the map with me. (If one wants to get an idea of what the location looks like, use the satellite view). One of the best apps ever!

I run a taxi and regional parts running business, and I use Google Maps and driving directions. I also travel across multiple states quite often for personal purposes. I have never had any major problems with it to this day; not sure if people here simply don't know how to use it or what. Seems to me that the majority of problems people are having with it are operator error, not the technology or developers.

This sociology professor taught that technology is the tools that make life easier. Every "change" your young techies make is the opposite. You're making things more difficult--less intuitive--NON-HUMAN, .I've been on computers--educator-writer-traveler since 1994, and have become less enthusiastic with every tweak. STOP it!

Mr. Schmidt  sidney mullen - May 4, 2013 - Report this comment

Why have you removed all the good features of Google Maps? Why did you make it hard to find? Why did you remove the home address and the toggle between that and the destination? Why can I not print just the map? And yes the public transit and bike and walking? And the non-highway options? Please reply. Thank you, Sidney Mullen
