Google's not infallible either. I was looking at a map and noticed that it labelled a restaurant called OPH in Chanhassen, MN. The Original Pancake House is one of my favorite restaurants and is sometimes abbreviated OPH, so I was intrigued. Going to the street view you can see that it's a purely residential area with a park and a pool and no restaurant in sight. Try it for yourself.
- exikyut 9y agoI just tried it and ended up being sent here: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@44.8508646,-93.4259796,3a,15y,185.01h,89.76t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sRXSIyrG8g5dZOuuYtfLAYA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DRXSIyrG8g5dZOuuYtfLAYA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D119.91807%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en https://www.google.com.au/maps/@44.8508646,-93.4259796,3a,15... Back out of Street View and you'll see I've landed at Prairie Center Dr, Eden Prairie, MN. Is this right? What's interesting is that if I type "oph chanha" Maps autocompletes "OPH Summerfield Drive, Chanhassen, MN, USA" but then if I hit Enter, it thinks for a fraction of a second then just stops dead. If I hit Enter again it comes up with no results. Interesting glitch! I did the autocomplete test in incognito to get non-cookie/history-polluted results.
- marksomnian 9y agoProbably an autocomplete cache not being purged properly. There are only two problems in computer science...
- mark-r 9y agoThe Summerfield Drive address is the one I noticed that is wrong. I have no idea how they determined there was a restaurant at that location.
