One has to wonder whether that is by design or bad coding or a combination of both. When do we start getting paid?

The appeared correct for a point in time then fall back into an older version. I go in to do a " edit" and just click finish and voila it is back up and running. I need to agree that there seems to be much onus on the user to ensure that Google has done their part and not only that - we need to QA the work that we have given them to do. I've noticed MAJOR errors in the bulk uploads that I've submitted recently. I've check and recheck and re rechecked my spreadsheets and the information was submitted but not showing on Google properly. I guess it's another item that we need to put on our check list of things to do when uploading to Google Maps. Joan Hi Mike,
