Default Reply from Google about missing streets south of CR466

Got this reply to an email I sent to Google a few weeks ago.

Hi Thomas,

Your Google Maps problem report has been reviewed, and you were right! We'll update the map within a month and email you when you can see the change.

Report history
Problem ID: FFAA-3AC1-907D-0CE3

Your report: Most of the streets in The Villages, FL that are south of CR466 have disappeared. They were there a few weeks ago. Specifically, my address at xxxx Dunbar Ave, The Villages, FL, 32162

Thanks for your help,
The Google Maps team

Sounds like something from a Stephen King book/movie.
Was there a recent fog?
Or a giant turtle spotted in the area?

Thanks RVRoadie, for the information from Google. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon, until then I suggest Mapquest.


Problem still exists, we noticed it last week when we tried to send someone directions to TV. Note the example below, after you leave Stillwater Trail street names are gone.

1. Head south on FL-35 S/US-301 S toward Co Rd 466
1.3 mi
2. Turn left at Co Rd 472
2.0 mi
3. Continue onto Co Rd 112
0.2 mi
4. Continue onto Rainey Tr
0.3 mi
5. At the traffic circle, take the 1st exit onto Buena Vista Blvd
0.4 mi
6. At the traffic circle, take the 2nd exit and stay on Buena Vista Blvd
0.8 mi
7. At the traffic circle, take the 1st exit and stay on Buena Vista Blvd
0.3 mi
8. At the traffic circle, take the 2nd exit onto Stillwater TR
0.4 mi
9. At the traffic circle, take the 1st exit
0.2 mi
10. Turn left
164 ft
11. Take the 1st left
413 ft
12. Take the 1st right
Destination will be on the left

You can access street maps that include that area using Yahoo or Mapquest. I just did both and all streets are there.

I just tried doing a Google Map search on Canton Ohio (error was reported on local TV the other day) and it still points you to Massillon Ohio. Sliding the map over to the East I see that they at least have the name changed from Colesville back to Canton. So be careful when doing your Google Map searches.
