Google-maps – My street is not showing up on Google Maps

google maps

I type in my address and it does not show. Other people weren't able to bring it up either. Carl Sandburg Cir., Sacramento, California.

Are they changing the street name or something? I also do not know if any area besides our street is having issues.

For whatever reason, Google has mashed together the street name, so it is listed as "Carlsandburg Circle". You can also find it by searching nearby cross streets.

Google Maps – Search by Street Number

It seems that website stores street number in it's own database along with the coordinates. And it's using it's own search engine, not Google's. So if your search hit a street number and street, it just fetches the coordinate and points it on the map. In google maps, you can only search for street number if it's in the place address.

Google Maps – Custom Sized Maps with Street Names

The only way I've found to achieve this is by creating an HTML file that creates a huge iframe and loads your Google Maps page inside it:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  </head>
  <body>
    <iframe width="4000" height="4000" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" 
     marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps">
    </iframe>
  </body>
</html>

Replace http://maps.google.com/maps in the code above with the URL generated in Google Maps when you click the link icon, and then inside Paste HTML to embed in website. Don't copy the entire <iframe ... code, just the src of the generated iframe tag.

This will create a 4000px by 4000px map. Change the width and height parameters above if that's not big enough (or too big). If your browser tries to paginate the map rather than resize it down to one page, try using a screen-capture browser extension to save a screengrab of the entire 4000x4000 page as an image, then print the image file.

A caveat, though: printing a 4000x4000 map on letter paper will produce street names that are far too small to read. In general Google's labels are sized appropriately for the zoom size, which more or less correlates with printing at that size/zoom. To print a larger (in width/height, not zoom level) map and still be able to read the labels, you'll need to print on large paper like a poster.
