We're going to a wedding today, and when I went to look up the address of the conference center where it was to be located Google Maps came back saying that the address didn't exist. In fact, the street "Tulakes Ave." didn't even appear to exist! After doing some more research for the name of the event location, the Clarence Page Conference Center, I found a whopping four listings on the entire world wide web. I was starting to think that the address or name of the place on the invitation was typed wrong, or didn't actually exist. If it did, according to one of the search results that I found, it was apparently at the Wiley Post Airport in OKC.
My fiancee typed the address into her preferred map search engine, MapQuest, and sure enough the street popped up as a street inside the Wiley Post Airport. So does this mean that Google, the leader in online map development, doesn't include streets inside of airports whereas MapQuest does? Does it go to the next level and is Google missing street names inside of corporate developments, industrial parks or maybe even some housing editions?
I'd always had bad luck with MapQuest where sometimes I'd end up lost as a result of their poor directions. But maybe they've made some changes. I thought it was interesting.
