1. They really needed to have Hydraulic called State Route 743?

2. On the downside, this update has caused Google Maps to have absolutely no idea of where I live, making it impossible to get directions anywhere from my house.

3. Actually, the changes in Google’s addressing is a result of Google now controlling the addressing data itself after dropping its contract with TeleAtlas as its addressing provider. More information at http://gisvirginia.blogspot.com/2009/10/google-maps-now-self-manages-address.html, but there are definitely some kinks still being worked out since Google made that change.
