I'm doing a mini map up on Saturday, a follow up to one we did a couple of months ago. I asked people if they had any questions ahead of time, so of course they threw me something I can't figure out. 

"Why isn't the Davis Gallery showing up on maps when I search for it?" 

I have no clue. It was added on Feb. 18 so it's not like it just hasn't gotten pulled to maps yet. 

It has the category or Art Gallery so I tested to see if that category had been vaporized. It's still there at the moment. Also There's another gallery nearby called the Cracker Factory that does show up on maps. The main differences I see there is that the Cracker Factory has a secondary category of "art center" and has had a review in places. 

I can't seem to link to the point directly but it should be in this screen view if you browse for art gallery. 

I can link to the cracker factory. Could there be something wrong with the Davis Gallery POI? 

I would be grateful for any explanation or help fixing this. I can deal with gray areas and work-arounds etc, but I find it harder to sell other people on those things. :) 

Thanks,
Jody

It's most likely because since there's another label right next to it, the Davis Gallery label isn't showing up because it would clutter the area of the map.

Here's the GMM link to Davis Gallery: http://goo.gl/T3K4J

I don't think this is an issue of display clutter. This feature will appear if you know where to click for Edit > Select a Place, but if you type its name into the search box above, you won't find it, either in GMM or Maps. This is a feature that exists but is not searchable.

Thanks everybody for taking a look. I've created a new POI for it. I'll delete the other one once this gets published if possible.
