Google Maps Doesn't Have Artsakh

[Anoush]

I don't know if you guys know this; but there was absolutely no mention of our Nagorno-Karabagh Artsakh in their maps. :mad:

We should bring it to Googles' attention and have them put it in there.

[Anoush]

Live Search Maps however does. But I am very unhappy with Google not having Artsax in their maps.

Some part of me thinks it's good that Artsakh isn't there because the Azeri's might make it look like it's THEIR land. Then we'll have to go around convincing everyone that it's ours. Just look at what the Turks did. They placed Ataturk's statue on our AG memorial in the map. It's not good that Artsakh isn't on the map, don't get me wrong, but maybe that's better then we think.

They have to be 'politically neutral' even if that means insulting Armenia to make the Azeri's and Turks feel better about themselves.

You know what Saco jan, the thing is that Live Search Maps has it as disputed. They don't have it as final borders. So Google can do the same and neither them or us have to be attacked by the tatars "Azeris".

As I have mentioned above hipeter, the Live Search Maps has it as disputed country, and Google can do the same and they don't or we don't have to be attacked. There is absolutely nothing wrong in mentioning the facts (the truth as it stands) you see?

[Sako]

Perhaps your right but I think there is a reason why Google HASN'T taken that step yet. Or maybe they just don't know about Artsakh. I can try and remind them if you like.

Yes please do Saco, that's exactly why I have created this thread. I wanted someone to let them know please.

You see, in Live Search Maps they wrote the Artsakh's borders as dot dot dot, like this (---). Google can do the same thing and write it as disputed in paragraphs. Check the Live Search Maps for yourself and see how.

Thank you.

In Live Search Maps when you write as such, it comes up on their map right away:

Nagorno-Karapakh
(disputed)

It even comes up on their map when you ask for Yerevan, Armenia. Nagorno-Karapakh (disputed) with dots comes right up. :)

[Sako]

I'll try right now Anoush jan.

I'll try right now Anoush jan.

Thank you Saco. :)

[Sako]

Don't mention it. I found a few ways to contact them. I'm working on that now as we speak.

Listen up, I just got an idea. I was thinking, why not create a page in C&A for these kinds of issues? We have a page for petitions already (whoever wants can start proper petitions) so why not create one for these kinds of issues? Our team will deal with them personally once they are posted.

Thanks for it Saco jan, and your idea above sounds very good to me indeed, very good!! :)

[Sako]

Thought so. I just added it into our site. Hope it'll help our cause.

Anoush jan, I've tried contacting the G. Team but the link to the contact page and the report a problem page itself seems to be down or something :( ! I'm talking to some of the people there and we're working to get this issue dealt with.

[Sako]

Everyone, listen up. Here's what you have to do to get this issue cleared. Please help out if you can. I'm afraid I can't as I'm having problems accessing G. Maps.

Here's what one of the G. Map users told me to do.

Have you tried to contact the provider for the region - bottom the map you can find them: Basarsoft & Geocentre Consulting?
You should do this first - even as for any missing street or other not so important labels on the map as this disputed region:
The provider provides the mapping data to GoogleMaps - mostly its the case - sometimes not.

Hope I could help Anoush jan.
