I was having a read of the lovely London Underground blog and came across this post about Google Maps and its issues with Tube stations. I almost feel like Google Maps is committing a hate crime by changing names, languages and sometimes completely omitting some stations from its maps. Oi, Google, what did we ever do to you?
But now I've come to find that Google's also making our stations have nonsense names in Japanese, rebranding stations to businesses in the area and apparently we have a bit of Germany in West London. Not even to say the least, but we've also been shafted on public transport guides built in to Google Maps in comparison to other major cities.
It's been irking me for some time now that Camden Town Station is M.I.A. according to Google Maps

What the deuce Google Maps?! Quit being so city-ist and put London back on the maps (so to speak).
