Google Maps Are A Bit Broken Right Now
It seems that Google Maps are a bit broken right now. In the 'Screen Shot 1' you can see that I got two hits for the same store, differing only that one has the word 'The' in the name. Excluding abbreviations, their addresses are the same although one has the unit # while the other just the address. One also lists a local number while the other an 800 number.
Reader Feedback: Page 1 of 1

The release of Google Maps was a "Wizard of OZ"/Technicolor moment for web developers everywhere BUT there is a solid engineering underpinning to AJAX that has nothing to do with special visual effects.

What the heck does this blog post have to do with AJAX?? The maps themselves are not "broken". The issue is in Google's ability to de-dupe a very large directory of name, address and phone data. This is classic ETL (extraction, transformation, load).

Posting a headline re: a widely used service is sure to draw eyeballs. Shame on SYS.CON for planting a very inflammatory, but highly disingenous, article.

Are google maps available on ALL mobile devices yet?
