Playing Hide and Seek With Google Maps

Cassie — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:13:08 +0000

I wanted to point out a “bug” in Google Maps we’ve been trying to get corrected for weeks now. It seems the world’s most popular search engine simply can’t decide where York Saw & Knife is actually located, so it has us listed twice. Unfortunately, while those locations are on the same street as our Continue Reading →
