Hey folks- There's an online form for reporting issues with the satellite imagery here: http://maps.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=data_errors
I believe "misaligned images" would be the appropriate dropdown there. I would like to keep the issue tracker to functional issues with the API as much as possible, and leave the more general maps data issues with non-API specific feedback mechanisms. - pamela On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 7:25 AM, marcelo <[email protected]> wrote: > > There seems to be no clean solution because the shift is not uniform > and it seems to be different for each zoom level.
