Not sure if this is the right place but it's about maps!
Prompted by Cap'n Slash's embedded maps and my own searching for places I read or hear about I am wondering why G'maps has bareley any places on it. Searching usually only pulls up the district:- https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Chiang+Kham+District,+Phayao/@19.4927404,100.2346617,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x30d7ee4255dcb345:0x30346c5fa8a72e0!8m2!3d19.4987437!4d100.3251564
Looking back at the UK then Burma and Laos either side I see it's not a general map 'way it is' as Google shows plenty of towns etc elsewhere:- https://www.google.co.th/maps/@18.7412696,102.6204543,9z
I tried the old 'Here' maps and found them more usable in Thailand:- https://wego.here.com/?map=18.77298,99.3612,9,normal
But complete fiction in Laos:-https://wego.here.com/?map=18.70925,103.80517,9,normal
Page navigation a bit cumbersome, keyboard doesn't seem to work, but I will try it more often here.
