Incomplete and Wrong Data in Google Local Search

Bill covers some of the patents that relate to the post here last week: Google Plus Box – Where does the (wrong) data come from?
Deer Blogs His Own GPS Position in Google Earth – Frank Taylor, Google Earth Blog
A report on a very cool real time animal tracking experiment. I can’t wait until worried parents start the same experiment with their teenage children. Or perhaps overanxious citizenry implant this technology in sex offenders (only in America).

I’m glad Bill added commentary on the erroneous information in plusboxes, etc.
That is a vexing problem.
