In September we talked about Google’s Ground Truth project that Google uses to keep its maps up to date. We also directed you to Google Map Maker, should you wish to assist with keeping the maps up to date.
But what if you notice something odd on Google Earth, Maps or Street View, or just have a question about something you see?
We came across this interesting story about a Frenchwoman known as Diane, who takes questions from people and goes and investigates by actually visiting the sites being queried.
See her site here with the things she has investigated and what she found. She calls it ‘A living search engine for unknown destinations’. She only investigates places in Europe and apparently hasn’t been anywhere this year. But it is an interesting concept that perhaps others could replicate around the globe?
