[...] there were people that actually lost their saved locations, this was not the problem I was experiencing. I just couldn’t find the freakin’ link! [...]

Kirk I think that the problem you are seeing is perhaps related to a new problem that Google MyMaps is experiencing that I wrote about earlier today: Google Maps: MyMaps Missing In Action - Google remains Quiet It certainly is a problem for people to be so dependent on the service to have it go down. Perhaps you need to look at a more reliable way to present the same information? Mike

We are having a problem with Google maps on our web site. My wife and I are host site directors for Angel Food Ministries at our church, Abundant Grace Community Church in Edinburg, Texas. 78539. When you go to the site, angelfoodministries.com to look for a local site and type in 78504, McAllen Texas, only 5 miles away our church doesn’t show up. If you type in 78539 you not only will get our church but several churches in the Houston area 300 miles away even if you have to locate in a 10 mile radius. This needs to be resolved. people are missing out on a opportunity to receive food at a discounted price.

My sense is that the hijackings in AdWords are due to folks giving out their passwords in response to phishing attacks. Not much Google can do about those. This particular announcement of a bug is of interest because Google accepted responsibility and publicly acknowledged the issue. The ones that concern me are the bugs and security issues that Google ignores. I doubt though that the many quirks and "features" in Maps that are less than optimal would lead to Google going away. At least not anytime soon. Mike

Google seems to be having problems lately… I’ve heard of numerous reports and have read numerous reports about hijacked AdWords accounts and now this? I hope this is nothing big because I use Google evryday and I wouldn’t want it to go away…
