I was forwarded this video after suggesting to someone from work that it would be such a great job to work on the committee that had to come up with this:

(some of the 226 pages of the actual road sign document …. sigh!)
From here.
Yes, Google Maps, you’re more than welcome to have my current location (in Firefox 3.5 or Chrome).
However, I’m going to be honest. I think our cat could do a better job of actually locating our house than you have done. I don’t expect house level pinpointing without a GPS – but I’m shocked how awful this is. It’s not even the right state!
What’s more strange, is that I know Google and other advertisers know our general location much better than this – as they’ll often use the name of a local town in an advertisement.
I used a web site, GeoBytes, which readily identified the local town where I get internet from. So, why can’t Google do the same?
Do you have any luck with this feature?
It’s a sad state of business when you need to proclaim as a distinctive quality of your company
“We show up” as one of the reasons for hiring/contracting their services.
