Google Maps Wrong in Pattaya


Recommended Posts

Posted

On google maps it says that soi 7 is soi 8

I don't understand your problem ??

The link you gave is near Flipper Lodge Hotel

and this hotel is in Soi 8, not Soi 7.

I just made a virtual trip in Soi 7 & Soi 8 using Google Maps

and saw nothing wrong about street names.

I agree. Soi 7 and 8 are correct in the link. I think the OP is confused.

The driving range in Soi Siam Country Club is also still in Google maps, but in reality it's gone for years. Phil Connors and myself reported that a couple of times, it's still there.

Google maps is not always correct. I've found quite a few errors.

There are errors and you can report them.

I have done so myself in about a dozen cases and most were fixed fairly quick.

It was my complaint to write "Beach Road" and not (only) "Sai 1" / "Sai Nueng" e.g rolleyes.gif

The confusing "Nakluea" label, that has long been found near Jomtien (!) is fixed.

There is still no "Second Road", just "Pattayasaisong" laugh.png, not very useful.

Wouldn't it be better to have "Second Road" and "Sai Song" and Thai Script?

But Soi 7 and Soi 8 are correctly placed (although the label "Pattaya 8 Alley" is not very useful).

I find that Bing maps are often more geographically correct and more accurate street names in Thailand. But Bing has a poor index of business and other sites in these same area that show up will otherwise...

Google maps/directions are often way off here. For example, if you get directions from Big C extra Pattaya Klang to Bumrungrad Hospital, it shows the first choice using Sukhumvit and highway 3 and then a really convoluted heavy traffic route once inside bangkok.

If you choose the Highway 7 option, it says stay on Sukhunvit and pick up Highway 7 in Laem Chabang with the same crazy route inside Bangkok. No matter what options you try, it does not suggest getting on Highway 7 in Pattaya and exiting in Bangkok on Sukhumvit, just two minutes from the Hospital.

Yes, I just found out why, it turns out there is a Flipper Lodge hotel on soi 8, and a Flipper House Hotel on soi 7

which is why the taxi went to the wrong soi.
