Ok, Might be title is too strong, but you should not trust Google Maps when searching for streets in Krosno, Poland (city where I was born). Here is sample, try to search for "Lwowska, 38-400 Krosno, Poland" and you get:
Search is working correctly, but names on street do not match reality. Instead of "Lwowska" street is "Jana Lenarta". Another example is "Platynowa" instead of "Podkarpacka". It seems that all street names are messed up on map.
Hope they fix it soon.

Welcome back after my vacations. This time nothing about Oracle, but about
some idea that was in my mind for few years and now is life: Google Picasa has
new functionality:
putting
pictures on maps. I'm using Picasa to share pictures with friends and
family for more than year now. And often I was asked: where did you take this
picture? Now I can tag pictures with Geo coordinates and then are shown on
map. Take a look at
my
public galleries on picasa, especially latest one with some
pictures
from my vacations.
There are still some features that I would like to see;When playing with
google maps I would like to have option to show pictures from specific place.
Pictures from public galleries could be presented. There might be an copyright
issue, but it could be solved easily: users will have option to allow (or not)
to publish pictures this way.
And I must buy Camera with build in GPS receiver to simplify mapping pictures...
Cheers, Paweł
