<div><br></div><div>A lot of roads the 'Google Van' went down the back road (between shops/houses) but it got marked as the main road, so it can get a bit confusing and annoying when you can't check out a shop.</div>

</div>I'd just to add that the 'new' Google map of the Crowsnest Pass is<br>
significantly better than it was before. No more random 'roads which are<br>
really cutlines' and 'roads which magically cross creeks'. Whoo Whoo....<br>
<br>
Holly Sh*t they did Street View too....!<br>
<br>
That said the OSM map has the new subdivisions as soon as they roads are<br>
drivable. Plus it has the 'Frank Slide Interpretive Center' (a major<br>
government funded tourist attaction) the Health Center in the right place.<br>
<br>
Hint for Google, they're not there:<br>
