\"\"<\/a>I don’t know what exactly has changed recently with regards to GoogleMaps, but I have noticed that things are going missing, in that they are no longer listed.<\/p>\n

I live in a new area, so I wasn’t surprised that it didn’t show up on GoogleMaps when we first moved in.\u00a0 The same thing happened at our last house, which was also new.<\/p>\n

It’s not a huge deal I suppose, I can just pick the nearest intersection for plotting routes.<\/p>\n

Despite the workaround, I was very happy when the maps were updated and my area showed up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Shortly after that, the Google truck drove through the area and it showed up on Streetview.<\/p>\n

I also use GoogleMaps on my Windows Phone (with voice recognition), so it was handy to just say my home address to bring it up.<\/p>\n

Everything was good and the people were happy.<\/p>\n

The Cold Shoulder<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know where the hate came from, but for some reason Google unlisted my area recently.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Streetview still works.\u00a0 The area just shows up as a bunch of blank roads.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, they also unlisted the 37 mile walking\/biking trail that runs through my city.\u00a0 In the past, I could plot a bike route along the trail and determine distances and such, but the trail no longer exists according to GoogleMaps.<\/p>\n

The Enemy<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t like MapQuest, Bing Maps or any of that other crap, but for completeness I tested them to see if it shows up there.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it shows up on both MapQuest & Bing.<\/p>\n

Bing maps found my street easily and still shows the trail, although it doesn’t know how to plot routes using the trail.\u00a0 MapQuest had a problem finding it and I had to add my ZIP\/Postal Code.\u00a0 It also doesn’t show the trail.<\/p>\n

Neither map site holds a candle to GoogleMaps (seriously, MapQuest blows).<\/p>\n

I don’t know what’s with the hate Google, but I hope this gets corrected.\u00a0 I’m starting to question whether I truely exist.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude2f<\/p>\n
