Re: Google Maps Taken To Court
Hi Phillip, Google maps hve a problem they dont verify changes here where i live my house was shown as Pick & Pay Hyper market, Spar, school and court house I even had a road right through my house, even our airport had shops on it, they just accept changes without verifing changes I cant even count how many changes I had to fix, and it takes long before they make the change.
