ships also appear in the view. So, this is probably an artifact of images being overlaid on top of another, perhaps along the edges of an image tile. I’d say that this is to be expected with automated processing, which I assume Google is doing to provide imagery
for most of the world’s landmass.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif"">Seriously, maybe whenever anyone runs across something this bad in Google, they should share it with this group. We could have a few examples to use whenever a bean counter
says, "We don't need GIS, Google is good enough." Can you imagine several more examples like the one Joe sent? An accurate GIS map made with good local data vs. a flawed Google map of the same area.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif"">Maybe this could be a S.H.R.U.G. poster contest - each poster would feature a quality GIS map on one half and an inaccurate Google map of the
same area on the other half. What if we had several such posters, the PDF files could be shared. Anytime people needed to describe to the powers that be the value of their GIS program, they could print these posters and show them (even if the poster is not
of their locality - the point is to show that Google is not sufficient for many uses). And it is not only imagery problems - we all have seen problems in the Google streets vs. local data. A picture is worth a thousand words.<br>
