WTF Google?
-
Thanks Rich, but I did post a less heated version on a GE forum. It just sits there without any response. And I used WTF to mean 'Where's The Feedback?'. At least here I am sure to get some kind of response as you have just proved.

I would suggest going here.

'Where's the Feedback?' is not an acronym that i've seen/heard before but your post did make me read it.
I suppose if it had said Ontario Satellite Imagery I wouldn't have even looked.
I'll STFU now, [Satellites That Float Uselessly]

Jeremy, you think that your neck of the woods is badly represented on GE! Have a look at Ireland! Its very blotchy over most of the country. And Google have their EU base in Dublin

-
Ennis is the centre of the universe!! Ireland is weirdly represented. They do have all the imagery but they wont release it for some god forsaken reason.

Hi Mike, Long time since I was here. If I get anywhere with this, I'll let you know.

I posted here, which seemed appropriate
Oh, and by the way Mike and Dermott, I do appreciate your economic woes are worse than ours, but let's not get off track.

The link I posted is where a lot of Google program directors and people that can actually get something done hang out. At least when it comes to maps and GIS data are concerned.
I think you would have a better chance on getting the right persons attention there.

Hi Jeremy,
Here is a page to report imagery:
http://earth.google.com/support/bin/request.py?&problem=billing&extra.customer=GEFree&contact_type=data
and here is one to submit data if your municipality can provide imagery:
http://maps.google.com/help/maps/imagery/
and for genera data submission, start here:
http://www.google.com/earth/dataproviders/ -
Thanks Gaieus, but I understand that we have been there and done that as the saying goes. What does one do when a municipality has submitted imagery through those links, but still nothing gets done? There is no way to contact a human being to check and see whether GE is happy with what has been submitted, or if there is a problem. Although I appreciate you are all trying to help, bombarding me with more and more links to different websites doesn't get me any further ahead. I need someone at GE who can look into the issue and communicate with me or the Town of Cobourg GIS technician.

Don't hold your breath waiting.

Thanks Jaxcoffee, that says it all.
