Have you not read the Google TOS as well as the Waze warnings about using other copyrighted sources of data? Some countries have had all roads deleted due to misuse of other sources. Please do not.

I'll drive to the sub-division, right away, and manually check the street-names...
I didn't realize you could 'Copyright' a street-name that you didn't name in the 1st-place.
I'll look for the TOS pages before I leave.
It's not the street name that's copyrighted, it's Google's presentation of the data that is copyrighted. If you can get the info about the street name from a government source (website) then you are all good (at least in the USA). State DOT, DEP, and Town/City DPW or Tax Assessor are good places to look.

Yeah, that's a hard one. Is it any better in the last 3 days since they found and fixed the bug related to interstate gaps and re/routing?
BTW, looks like new neighborhood streets to the northwest of that location need adding.

Go to the map editor link in my sig. Go to editing manual, map editor interface and controls. See the layers section.
