And in Atlanta I experience the opposite problem. Google Maps will limit searches to things close by, suggest alternates instead of exact matches, and routinely fails to find locations that I know exist forcing me to manually select them on the map.
Unlike NY, in Atlanta everything is a 30 minute drive so convenience is less about distance.
- echelon 9y agoPreach, fellow Atlantan! I hadn't put it into words before, but the problem you describe hits home. I want a 20-30 minute radius of search results, not things limited to the nearest mile. That's worthless in Atlanta.
- icebraining 9y agoIf you adjust the zoom, doesn't it suggest a new search and then find the correct place? Seems to work for me.
- cptskippy 9y agoIf you adjust zoom you're given the option to search that area but it doesn't do it by default and by default it zooms into a narrow radius around your current location.
- cvddzfgzdgvzd 9y agoI moved to ATL (midtown) in '07 and a car was a basic necessity. But today? I think I could easily live in the midtown area and not need my car. I mean, I'd walk to Whole Foods from 10th and Piedmont regularly (there's a shortcut at the TJs ;P)
