Hi electronbender,
I took a look at the view, but it's not clear what you are asking, at
least to me.

Would it be possible for you to provide additional details:
--which streets do not exist? They don't exist today on the ground
and the imagery is wrong? They were drawn as existing, but don't?
What do you mean?
--You can't edit them. Which streets, by name, can't you edit? When
you try to edit, what happens? Can you select them?
--Trying to overlay on top of those? Again, which streets by name?

Last, it would be helpful for those of us who don't review these
postings in depth to have a subject that describes your concern.
"Chaos and anarchy" doesn't really explain what your issue is. The
posting probably belongs in another subforum than the one about
moderating features, but I'm not trying to discourage you from asking
questions by being hyper critical of all the aspects of your post so
much as to try to help you get your issue visibility and solved.
Thanks,

You are right, sorry, i'm farely new to this, so please bare with me.
As far as the chaos and anarchy goes:
Someone wanted to speed things up and started adding streets and just
naming them Street 1, Street 2... (Ulica 1, Ulica 2).
So after a while another person comes along trying to add the proper
names of the streets (Skoevska in this case).
But instead of renaming Ulica 1, he add's it along side it.
However, if you try to delete Ulica 1, it doesnt find it with the Find
feature, it just finds Skoevska St.
So, if Ulica 1 doesnt exist, why is it being displayed?

If it does exist:
- Why cant it be found with the Find tool
- Why was adding a paralel road (skoevska) allowed?

Hi,
Thank you for explaining further. Under highest magnification of
the map view you gave I do not currently see duplicate roads.

Some of the roads seem odd. For instance, Skoevska is shown as ending
in an underpass at Boro Kralevski, which seems unlikely.

Are you local to the area?

I've been as far as Radishanska, and while trying to moderate i
noticed the underpass too, tried to reject the edit.
I suppose i could me a turn there when passing in the neighbourhood to
see what is going on.

Anyhow, this is what's on my screen, since you are indicating that you
are not seeing any other roads:

I'm confused?

Wait, just figured it out.
I'm using chrome to view the map.
I opened the same map in Firefox, totally different story.
I cant believe that google maps is not working properly in Chrome!

Safari also seems to show correct results.

Hi,
Can you please check if the "Offline Map Tiles" are enabled by
chance. This will be indicated by a green tick mark at the top right
side of the window. If you disable the offline tiles, clear the
browser cache and try again, you should not see the old roads.

Please let me know if it does not work.

Regards,
Map Maker Guide.
