A few years ago, I noticed a street with no name in Google Maps. So I submitted the information that it was Gallows Court in the Australian ski town of Hotham Heights. Unlike other times I've done this, nothing happened. It appears that Google thought that Gallows Court was such a macabre and unlikely name for a street that it was more likely to be a false name submitted by several people as a joke. So I followed up with a new submission that included a photo of a street sign and links to government sources naming the street and eventually, Gallows Court at Hotham Heights appeared on Google Maps.
you are my hero!
Next to my town in google maps, even inside it, there’s a place called Unionville. Union villa doesn’t exist. I would have driven through there before, because it’s, like, where the town center is, but...
There appears to be multiple unnamed roads in that area, but i found Gallows court ;)
Difluzi, a lot of those roads are just access tracks to things like ski lifts and the sewage works, so it's not surprising they are unnamed. But Gallows Court has houses and ski lodges on it, making it a proper street. BTW, Hotham also has a well known, but very steep ski run called Hangmans Drop which is marked on trail maps... so there is a rather strange theme there.
Hmm if anything a name like Gallows Court would to me just make me think that there is probably some historical connection I would probably have just assumed that at one point there were literal gallows in that area somewhere. Lots of place names are historical references to something that was once important nearby whether it be a physical thing or simply an event of significance that happened there the latter would include things like Battlefield, Shrewsbury so named due to it's proximity to the location of the 1403 Battle of Shrewsbury. But yeah a lot of history is pretty macabe so really such names are hardly surprising.

I deliver pizza in a small rural town and on one of my runs I was delivering on a small stretch of road that was supposed to be part of a numbered street, but Google maps has it labeled as "Chanterelle lane" (chanterelle being a type of mushroom.) I asked the older couple that I was delivering to if they knew anything about it, and they said "oh, our son works for Google and when he came to visit he was so impressed by how many chanterelles grew here that he decided to change the name of the street for our block." So much for accuracy and authoritative sourcing of street names.
@Hunter Vogel Many would disagree. Numbered streets make for easier navigation.
@Hunter Vogel if the street signs and addresses are changed to reflect it then sure. But the purpose of a map is to help you navigate. If you set the street name to something unofficial, that's defeating the purpose of a map.

"If you're from San Francisco, there are probably a few things you've never heard of -- toast without avocados, three-figure rent, Republicans and the East Cut neighborhood" I died laughing at "three-figure rent"
The only way rent is three figures is if it's weekly
@@alwong604 Pfft more like daily
but my rent is 3 figure yearly lol
I have a republican neighbor and we are good friends with them. Whenever we go on trips (Before COVID) they would always offer to take care of our dog for free and before covid, they would walk her in the middle of the day without asking us to pay them just because they really like our dog. Also, they are catholic and we are Jewish. They also like to make our food and they love having us over for snacks/dinner. They are also pretty well off and they LOVE inviting my mom and dad over to try fancy and expensive wines, and they travel to Oregon a lot for wine tasting.
(P.S, they went to Oregon 2 times in 2020 following all of the COVID guidelines. They went there to pick up some wine and go to a winery they like up there, and they quarantined for 2 weeks after both trips.)
It's just annoying when they try to bring up politics. Luckily they aren't homophobic. Also, they aren't super extreme republican and they don't openly talk about it either. You'd only know their political views if you tried to talk about politics with them. Also, they voted for trump but they luckily understood by mid-November that there was no election fraud. They claim to be "independent" but we just think that they are just saying that because of the VERY BLUE and anti-red culture in SF. SF is about 90% democrat and 10% republican.
I am from SF and I lean Republican.

“Any other disputed area”
*shows picture of Quebec*
Team ION
Quebec Parliament: *French* "Denounce this HAI dude, he called us a disputed territory"
@@KnuxMaster368 i could be a douche and say that it's not really called the parliement (which is in Ottawa and is for the federal government) and it's called: L'Assemblée Nationale (national assembly if you don't speak french and government name in Québec cannot be translated)
First thing I thought was the border between Québec and Labrador. I am a big Québec nationalist but I don't really see how the province is a disputed territory right now.
As a Franco-Ontarian with a staunch separatist family, I thought it was hilarious.
you see, there is a political party in Quebec called "Le Parti Québecois", Originally founded by René Lévesque. One of Lévesque's promises was to separate the province of Quebec from Canada, making Quebec an independent country. There was then a vote in Quebec between the Liberals (P-E Trudeau) and the Parti Québecois (Lévesque). The Liberals won 60% to 40%, so there was no separation. That being said, the Parti Québécois still exists today and, while I am not sure that their leader (Jean-François Lisée) wants to separate like Lévesque did, they could still win an election, and there may be a slight chance that Quebec separates from Canada.
(By the way, even if i live in Quebec, i do not support the Parti Quebecois, and hope that the province stays in Canada forever),

Thanks for telling.
I remember years ago hearing the possibly true urban legend that some mapmakers will add in a fake town here or there in order to catch plagiarists. If another map company simply copies the first company's maps including the fake town, it's easy for them to prove copyright violation. I don't know if that's what's going on here or not.
Fun fact: that once resulted in a fake town becoming real. Someone set up a highway cafe on the spot marked as the center of the imaginary town and gave that town as their address. Now it's considered a real town (with a single digit population).
My favourite example of this was when two clearly Michigan College Football enthusiasts added the copyright traps of "Beatosu" and "Goblu" to nearby Ohio.
It happens. There was a local mapmaker near where I live, who made detailed road maps for the county and towns in the area (I have some of his maps). He openly admitted to a few "fake" streets on his maps.
Until his death, the maps were considered to be the best, most authoritative maps of the area (in spite of the fake streets that didn't exist). Interesting thing is, every map was hand drawn and hand lettered. He never used a computer; he passed away at the age of 96 in 2012 (and was publishing updated maps until his death).
He is memorialized by a street in Vancouver, Washington: Phil Arnold Way.
Google used to allow anyone to edit their map with a tool called Map Maker. Chances are, a lot of those strange neighborhood names were added (against the ToS, I might add) by well-meaning contributors copying dubious sources. Now that the editing tool is gone, there's no easy way to interact with those "neighborhood" elements on the map. The only way to fix them now is to submit a problem report in Maps and hope someone at Google reads it before the neighborhood gets bulldozed to make way for the next mega mall.

I've always found it absurd that Google Maps changes by country, so that many people don't even realise the world doesn't recognise some of their country.
Let's hope the Costa Rica situation doesn't have a repeat with China haha
Hey I’m subscribed to your channel!! Nice to see you here
WHAT? youtubers watch other CZcamsrs. Weird stuff. Kappa
it happens all the time, thats why it is disputed.
IBX!!!
I've heard that the Chinese version of Google Maps uses the border line published by Chinese government. For the rest of the world though, it might or might not be true.
But speaking of country recognition, to be honest I am kinda curious how Google Maps looks in Taiwan, as "it being a country" is not recognized by most of the world, even including the USA, as least on the surface I think. However Google mostly got no business in China so things might get weird (or it's not true, as they seems to start having something going on in China again, not sure what though).
Paper Towns: Google Maps Edition
Well, not exactly... Paper towns are fake town created for the purpose of stopping other people from copying your map, this is more a lazy/crappy research on google's part :)
No yeah I know, totally different concept indeed.
Google maps still copied that map with typos on it.

@@bgezal why?
Here in Pittsburgh, Google is basically creating a new neighborhood called "Bakery Square," which is a relatively small new, hip urban development (read "gentrified space") which is cut out of what used to be a heavily black neighborhood (though it now takes a small chunk of a fairly upper scale white neighborhood). You can see it on the map now, in the same font as Pittsburgh's actual neighborhoods. It also just so happens to be where Google's Pittsburgh office is located.
Yeah, the old Nabisco plant. I still remember what it smelled like when they were baking butter cookies!😊
That is what's happening with google maps. These are gentrified areas. Ytpipo 😡
So... You're pro segregation?
Charming.
Gentrificatiom doesnt help the issues of segragationst all, dummy. Just moves redlines to other spaces.
Next you'll want White Only and Colored Only water fountains again in the name of wokeness. Typical Democrat.
I really thought "The eye" was going to be a transliteration that occurred when someone asked where do you live in Detroit? "The I"
As someone from Detroit I’ve never heard of the eye in my life lmao
I assumed the name was based on the shape of the neighborhood or something in the area.
Google maps labeled the neighborhood I grew up in as "Velox". In my ~13 years there, I had never ever heard of that term for the neighborhood. We just referred to the area essentially by the name of the high school.
they named mine "La Villa"...I've never heard anyone call it that in my life

Read the descriptions.
Just around where my family lives, Google maps has the area labeled "Hickson". I've looked around for while to find what it is about but I haven't even found a historical name or town here in California ever being called "Hickson". Not near here or even anywhere in California. So I seriously don't know why it's being labeled that. Whats even more strange is that this neighborhood they've created is smacked in the middle of the intersection Sepulveda Boulevard and Devonshire Street, however, West of Sepulveda - just crossing the 405 freeway - is the real neighborhood of Granada Hills, while East of Sepulveda is the real neighborhood and, once, proper town of Mission Hills - where the Mission San Fernando is located. They each have their own zip code and all. Hickson, does not exist and shouldn't exist as it's cleaved by the widest portion of Sepulveda Blvd. Moreover, there's an area near there they've labeled "North North Hills". The town has always been called "North Hills" but somehow they've carved out a new neighborhood to its north and just tacked another "north" to it.... That's just kinda cheap.
"North North Hills" sounds like a crappy idea for a Super Mario 64 level.
Yeah my old house was in the inexplicably named "Calevillo Land". And yes the only references on Google are realty and hotel search sites
I knew I wasn't crazy. Where I live Google Maps has labeled neighborhoods like "Stewart Town" and "Anscroft" that I've never heard anybody refer to ever, but misses the more prominently recognized "Hadley Farms" "Lakeforest" and "Asbury"
In true Detroit fashion; there's probably heroin stashed in those houses
Maxvannoorloos there's scarier and shadier shit in these homes, especially if you go to the East Side
but that would increase the property value...
Floyd Looney why would you be asking that??? Crime rate also plays a major role into dropping property values
And probably a few deviant androids somewhere in the city
It's sad, there is a difference based on zip code. I lived in Redford township, and things are a little ghetto but pretty normal there, but when you go down six mile into Detroit, things start to look more ghetto instantly. There are even neighborhoods inside the city of Detroit that are in some cases wealthy, but right outside their block of streets, it's ghetto af. Look at Indian Village in Detroit for example.
"Any other disputed territory" *Shows Quebec*

Quebec denounces HAI for implying this
Google Maps has randomly decided that my city of 40,000 has another neighborhood inside of it, and has started labeling addresses with that new neighborhood, but completely left out the real one thats actually kinda well know.
My neighborhood 'Aïre' in Switzerland is called 'Aire-la-Ville' (a town 10km away) by Google maps, this mistake finds gets then repeated by every online shopping site and people using maps for direction are often misdirected
Same with my girlfriend's house. The name that Google gives the area refers to the farm the neighbourhood was built on. But it hasn't been a farm in nearly 80 years.
Super unnatural sponsorship transition.
When I was 12 we had a house fire, and the fire department came down the wrong street (Ardmore). My street is divided by two other intersecting main roads, into 3 different sections. The one I'm on is farthest north.
After the fire, within a year they changed the divided street names to "W. Ardmore", "E. Ardmore" and just regular "Ardmore" in the middle. This is only noticeable on google maps or on official government documentation. None of the physical street signs changed, nor do most the residents even know about it.
Unrelated, yes, but this video reminded me of that story.
Yo, you are the god at sponsor transitions I've been watching a bunch of your videos and you just slide right into the sponsor what a god.
“Or any other disputed territory”

Wow, I guess I'm gonna be a little more skeptical of information from Google Maps in the future. In Germany, neighborhoods are indeed officially named and defined areas.
But considering Google took over 5 years to fix an obvious bug in their public transport layer in the center of Berlin, Germany, I wouldn't be so sure about Google's attention to detail
Fascinating. I thought this was going to be like the way old paper map publishers would place phantom towns on their maps, so if someone else's published map had them that would be proof of illegal copying.

Thanks for clearing that up about the Eye, I drove through the area to pick up a friend a so was very confused. I've been wondering if it was just made up by Google ever since.
Happened to my city too. Google invented neighborhood names that we in town never used, and now we get lectured by yuppies from Toronto who move here about what our neighborhoods are called. They never admit "I think this name exists only because I see it on Google Maps", and when we tell them they're full of it they call us Nazi white supremacist local yokels.
Well that escalated quickly!
That transition to the brilliant sponsor though, brilliant
I thought it was Half As Interesting.

I would love if you did a follow up about the fuzzy differentiation between neighborhoods and subdivision names on Google Maps, especially in newer sunbelt cities where neighborhoods are less established and more of these types of subdivisions exist
Our city has a neighborhood literally named "Nombre del Barrio" (Name of the Neighborhood) according to Google. They still haven't fixed it yet.
HAI: starts talking about quantum mechanics
Me: I thought this video was about neighborhoods
HAI: And brilliant is really good at-
Me: oh that’s why
He was and he wasn't.
I think you should credit the blogger who did the research in the description.
That's just common courtesy.
In the past years, users could log in to Google Map Maker and add neighborhood names and road names, some of these names have been added by users who have high powers and do not need approval, so do not be surprised when you see strange names when you use Google Maps in some countries.
Around my home town a few make sense, but randomly a few years ago the entirety of French Valley got renamed Dutch Village. There was a "Dutch Village Giftshop" there when I was a kid, but it hasn't existed since the 90s, and no housing tracks are named after it. Since then random nonsense names have popped up everywhere, and it's confusing at best.

I lived a few blocks down from The Eye, I lived in Redford at the time, the Eye is basically on the edge of the city of Detroit, bordering Redford twp. That always confused me too, why that place is called the eye on google maps and I looked into it, it's interesting. I was actually hoping to see Detroit mentioned, and I've been pleasantly surprised.
okay look. I know it's an advert and all, but Schrodinger's cat is an example devised specifically with the purpose of demonstrating why a particular interpretation (the Copenhagen interpretation) of quantum mechanics is incorrect. It is *not* an example meant to show how quantum mechanics works - it's exactly the opposite.

Some years ago, people noticed Google Maps used to put more emphasis on the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro than on official neighborhoods (which are, in fact, legally defined by a decree that gets constantly updated as the city grows). Of course Google was using other sources than this decree (in which maybe one or two favelas actually got upgraded to being official neighborhoods). And the mayor was even more upset because some favelas got more attention as you zoomed out than the official neighborhoods. Even favelas no one had ever heard of were listed on Google Maps, despite being just a small group of less than 10 houses. Google being Google quickly changed their view (at least for people in Brazil), so the city authorities called down. I wonder if they checked now years later using a VPN.

The Cañas-Jerez Treaty was signed between the Plenipotentiary Minister Máximo Jerez Tellería (from Nicaragua) and the General José María Cañas Escamilla (from Costa Rica) in 1858. What the Nicaraguan government did back in 2010 was pure negligence and an ill intended violation of Costa Rican sovereignty. It also provoked environmental damage to an ecological protected area.
It was Ortega's fault

As an uber driver in the Detroit area, I've tried to learn the name of every neighborhood I visit. I've noticed The Eye on Google Maps before but had no idea of the origin.
