I live at 363 Stoney Brook Lane, Wenatchee, WA 98801. This house has
been here (under the same address) for over 10 years, as has many
other homes. The problem is that it doesn't show up on Google Maps.

#1 - I have found the street "Stonybrook" - which is actually our
street - on Google maps. However, NO ONE spells it that way --- not
the post office, not the street signs, not the county deed recorder
for our property -- NO ONE. It should read "Stoney Brook" (2 words,
with an "e" in Stoney).

#2 - My address "363" stoney brook - is approximately in the spot of
385 Stonybrook. Go figure....


#3 - Another addition.... Stoney Brook (or according to Google maps,
stonybrook) comes off of Birch Mountain. It doesn't. You drive up
Birch Mountain, and the left hand turn is onto Rolling Hills - NOT
Stoney Brook. Stupidly --- you have to make a hard right turn to stay
onto Rolling Hills. If you continue going straight, it becomes Stoney
Brook. The problem is that every GPS system and Google system tells
people to turn onto stonybrook off of Birch Mountain, which you cannot
do according to the street signs.

Thanks,

Carrie

Hi,
As Google Map Maker is not yet open for editing in the United States,
you might not be able to make the corrections your self. Countries

However, the following page should help you getting the above issues
