- steve_adams_86 2y agoSame with British Columbia, Canada. There are a lot of unidentified waterways. In Victoria, BC, virtually everything ends up going down a small inlet called "the gorge". It's not quite correct to consider it a stream, river, creek, etc. Still a really cool idea, and when it works well it's good fun. I can see there being great practical applications if it was more accurate too (though I'm sure the people who could put it to use already have good data)
- brazzy 2y agoThe river Isar through Munich, Germany, which is one of the larger tributaries of the mighty Danube, is also "unknown". The data outside the USA is definitely lacking in that regard. I guess the names are taken from an underlying hydrologic dataset, and Google (or whoever) maps used purely for visualization.
