Hi developers, we just made some significant changes to our map data
for the United States that will affect your applications. Check out
the post on the Geo Developer (http://
googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2009/10/map-data-updates-for-united-
states.html) and Lat Long (http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009/10/ your-world-your-map.html) blogs for full details.
The blog entry says:
"We're excited to bring new features and functionality to Google Maps,
including comprehensive parcel data, more detailed natural features
like parks and water bodies, and new base map data types like bike
paths and university campus maps."
Guys, this is cool!! but ...
... many people, including myself, have spent a lot of time and
effort, (and money), to create custom maps with some of those very
features, and now you just add them to the standard maps!!! *LOL*

Is there a list available of campuses that have this new feature? I
notice that the University of Notre Dame is not mapped yet. Any idea
when or if it will be?

some wonderful changes and some major mistakes at least in my neck of
the woods. i love the goog but you guys need to put some more time
into that public lands layer. its just wrong now in the SF bay area
(check out CPAD data at the very least).
some questions...
1. is there any ability to query the parcel layer for attributes? any
plans to do this?
2. can i access the parcel layer separate from the road layer or is
there a way to access it with the Hybrid layer.
if i can not work with the parcel lines separately then please render
them on top of the other layers. for example they are rendered below
the water layer.

We are using google maps extensively for one of our tracking website
and it seems we are having certain major issues with the addressing.
The problem is not only on our site but on map.google.com as well.
Following are few examples showing wrong address for lat/longs
1. Problem Example: 42.210056,-73.346677
Found 1 month ago, lat/long mapped to 2 Stillwell St, Great
Barrington, ma. Today the same lat/long maps to 1-99 Stillwell ave,
North Egremont Ma. Address is located in
Great Barrington (per virtual earth and by viewing map -it's
obvious) (North Egremont is 11 miles from lat/long).
2. Only google shows town of Sidney. Other sources show Augusta
Examples:
(44.391015, -69.733565) 2499-2507 Maine 104, Sidney, ME 04330, USA
(44.350254, -69.797528) Darin Dr, Sidney, ME 04330, USA
(44.353131, -69.828512) 101-299 Wade Rd, Sidney, ME 04330, USA
44.353131, -69.828512
(44.319916, -69.779175) Augusta, ME, USA
Thanks,
Prima

Ok, so that's why my maps are screwed up? Who did the map layers? I
use one map for Mt.Rainier NP, see any "Map" link at http://www.wsrphoto.com/mtstart.html and you see the maps are all the same. That didn't change, but the map
itself is wrong. The NP boundary is missing and is blended into the
adjacent forest lands which is also wrong (missing the forest lands
east and north). Can someone at least add the NP boundary so it's
clear and obvious? And then correctly color code the USFS land? Or
return to the map colors you had before?
Sorry, that should west and north of the NP. The NP is surrounded by
USFS land except in two areas along the western boundary and
northwestern corner, which are private forest lands. But that doesn't
change the missing NP boundary which is indistinguishable from the
adjacent land.

You should use the "Report a Problem" feature mentioned in the blog posts linked above.

Besides local government sites of varying quality, there is a unified
free site where you can get parcel information, overlay the parcel
polygons in Google Maps / Google Earth, and click the polygons to view
attributes (how many attributes depends on the area).

Recently, I have noticed slivers in map tiles for Great Lakes -- is
this related to the update? The issue is around the 5 (+/-) zoom level
in Lake Superior and Lake Huron. There are land-coloured vertical
lines in the middle of the lakes.
