Outdated maps on Flickr
One of the few things that I really dislike with Flickr, is the use of outdated maps. I don’t know if that is a common problem, only a problem in Europe or in Norway. But I more and more often see that the maps that I’m using to geotag my photos with, are outdated. So also today. This weekend I was downtown making some photos of the Opera House in the harbor here in Oslo. The map provided from Flickr (Yahoo Maps?) must be at least 6-7 years old. Perhaps even older! So my question is, what is the update frequency on maps and satelite pictures in Yahoo Maps?

Another thing is the automatic naming of the places. It is also often horrible wrong. So also this time. Flickr mistakenly adds St. Hanshaugen to the map and the picture, which is a kilometer away and a quite different part of Oslo.

Here are some more pictures that according to Flickr and Yahoo Maps don’t excist:
