Google maps bug
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2012 5:41 pm
The URL that brings up an external Google map doesn't work when the cache name includes "to". See the external request for OU03B6, which invokes https://maps.google.com/maps?q=30.62543 ... o+Nowhere)
Google maps takes the "to" as indicating that you want directions and then can't understand what you're asking for.
I did notice that surrounding the name string in quotes worked OK although the quotes are shown in the search results https://maps.google.com/maps?q=30.62543 ... owhere%22)
I also discovered that there were at least two "Road to Nowhere"s in Google maps--one in Irvington, VA and the other in Iqaluit, NU, Canada.
