They used to have a forum for data errors, but it's apparently gone now. Does anyone have an idea where one points out errors to them? There's at least one section of Sunset Blvd in Hollywood that had corrupted locations or something because it's not correct.
Here's one shot facing east. (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=34.099821,-118.368169&spn=0.005641,0.01001&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=34.09795,-118.36747&panoid=bA91hjk1ksGyv8uge1MuNw&cbp=1,97.36409298454276,,0,-0.1995945782970477) Note the (now closed) Dudley Do-Right museum on the right. It's very distinctive. Note some other buildings.
Now click forwards to go east just one 'step on Sunset Blvd. Suddenly the image is entirely wrong. I think it's still Sunset Blvd, but it's NOT in the right place. You can do the same thing if you turn around and go west from the intersection I have linked above. (You'll have to turn yourself around) Note the big billboard and other buildings. Click once to go west and suddenly, the images are NOT correct. It's sad, because I wanted to point out the Rocky and Bullwinkle statue. :(
EDIT: After wandering up and down the street, the problem is fairly large in that section. I passed one gas station twice and another one about 5 times, always going the same direction. The statue I mentioned can just barely be seen, but the image is several blocks down from where it should be. ugh, it's really messed up there.
