- knotty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Roads? Where we're going, we don't NEED roads!
- samsonlonghair, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I agree that this is a big improvement (previously England was the only European country with roads), but it's still not all of Europe. Bulgarian and Romanian roadways are still absent. Only the largest roads in Greece are shown.
Google maps are great, but there's still a long way to go; A lot of the roads in my own city here in the US are not shown. - treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Give us maps for Australia!
- Caulfield, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6At least this should help Everton find the back of the net...
;) - confounded, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Not just England, the whole of the UK had coverage. They still have lots of incorrect street names though.
- cdgore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It only covers Western Europe atm.
- whizzbang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5not if I have my way, damn Southern Portugese...
*joking - atgunning, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That just makes it easier for Arsenal to run over you!
- OropheR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4All Europe? this is not true. Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia are a huge no man's land. Not even the capitales are written and these 3 countries belong to EU!
Pity, considering that the most beautifull girls in the world are in Lithuania... - Jakub81, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Google Maps street maps for HALF of Europe...
- rschnz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Did anyone heard that that european part of Russia takes 40% of Europe's area? Or maybe you think that Russian isn't in Europe?
- Lebowski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Apparently the richest country in Europe (Norway) is road-less. I agree the roads are bad, but this is ridiculous!
- somerandomnerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"ALL" of Europe? Well, Ireland still only has about 4 roads, apparently.
Inaccurate. And minus extra points for capitalising the inaccurate word. - jmann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ALL of Europe? Haha, far from it! How about Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, etc.
- whizzbang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3doh, Ireland still only has urban coverage. Seeing as google's HQ for Europe here I hope they update them soon!
- trakais, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4where? ALL is not there, baltics, romania, bulgaria, albania, etc. I hope they will add those too eventually
- sandrejev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, sadly all roads end at the Lithuanian border, especialy when you live in Lithuania
- stuartjmoore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wonder how many people know the difference between England, UK, and Britain...
- digger_twit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Reported as inaccurate - no Eastern Europe.
- dextroz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5go ask your ***** government to stop picking ***** outta their asses and release their GIS info out.
Otherwise, next time, say "Please" . - 511pf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Obligatory bump for GMaps Pedometer, which works with the new European maps.
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ - Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -0/+2At least they didn't forget Poland!
- Smily, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If the title said "Google Maps improved street maps" or something similar, I would have dugg it. We apparently don't have roads here in Slovenia (even though we are even in the European union >_>). Reported as inaccurate.
- dbxz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2what about all of former yugoslavia?!
- arnorhs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's also missing Iceland. For some reason, people who refer to "all europe" tend to forget about iceland ... And to everyone who doesn't know: ***ICELAND IS A PART OF EUROPE***
- bmson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3There ain't any street-map for Iceland.
So it's not all of Europe. But for most part, it is. - chrstphrbrwn, on 04/15/2009, -0/+2Its an improvement, at least. I live on a dirty road in a small northern Italian town. My street is represented.
- zatrix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3and what about Ukraine?
- wizgha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Malta's not there as far as I'm concerned... but it's nevertheless a good start.
- Shinglor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heck yes, Whereis sucks!
- magicRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just had a quick look at both Munich and Berlin. Both have U-Bah and S-Bahn information there too. Excellent stuff.
- dasch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Finally! I've been wanting street maps of Denmark for so long!
- ptknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Stop whining, it's there
- sagenumen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I afraid "All of Europe" was a bit of an overstatement. Certain towns in Poland still aren't listed and addresses in cities still aren't searchable.
- ZergyPoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I agree, I live on the "Chemin de la Gabiule" in switzerland. I can see the street on the map, but it can't find it when I search for it.
Not only that, but my town name is "Collonge-Bellerive" and it points me to the other side of switzerland when I search for that.
This is a step in the right direction, but they have a lot of work to do. - NickLe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2ALL of Europe obviously doesn't include southern Portugal!
- buxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was about time.
But they are on the good trail, they even added some more hi res pics of Holland, Amsterdam for example. - pedmond, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I fully agree with that comment. Google should know by now what Europe means...
- noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is very cool. I wonder if they'll ever have coverage of every street in Europe, like they have in the US, Canada, and the UK. Countries like Croatia are missing a lot of data.
- ockabewis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool, but definitely not all of the way there. I wish I knew how often they changed their satellite imagery. What they show for where I currently live in Germany is obviously older than when I first moved into my current address (almost 4 years ago!).
- PDelahanty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"All" apparently only refers to the highways in Ireland. Other paved roads are not there...nevermind the unpaved cowpaths.
- Aslan72, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This would have also been handy navigating Dublin; last time we were there we ended up getting lost and having to buy an accurate map and look for monuments to get us around...street signs are for the weak ;)
--pete - Jaan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There are no street maps for the Islands of the Azores, or for the island of Madeira. They are part of Portugal, which is definitely part of Europe.
Change that to almost all of Europe. - muyuu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1OK, not all of Europe is there, but most important cities are, and smaller towns from certain countries too! this is great progress.
Keep the faith, people. - JasonPrini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder when they built it? Maybe they're using older road info and newer sat images?
- yppiz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have no comment, I just like quoting samsonlonghair out of context: "previously England was the only European country with roads."
- gitrplaya4u, on 07/30/2008, -0/+1Dugg to ruin "1337 diggs"
- ravedave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looks like the chunnel is totally fubared, but amazingly they have all of the ferry boat lines shown & named... crazy
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&ll=47.323931,15.864258&spn=7.120234,14.985352&om=1 - sandig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm just waiting for them to get decent satellite coverage of Oxford (UK). They manage everywhere else in the country just fine, just not Oxford.
- dxgg, on 02/05/2008, -0/+1I see southern Portugal just fine...at least from the West coast up to about Lagos. I live in Praia da Luz (just west of Lagos) and the coverage is pretty good!
