Despite the fact that Trondheim is the 3rd largest city in Norway the outer edges of the city have satellite imagery on Google Maps, while the downtown and university areas are missing. Most of the hotels in town can’t be seen. The cathedral (Nidarosdomen) can’t be seen. The main university campus (NTNU Gløshaugen) with thousands of students is absent; but Lade and Leangen we have. An Adressa article mentioned the issues in April under the banner “Google Fog Over Downtown“, and I waited patiently for a change. But no. The article got no more of a response than the one can find online. I shot off a Get Satisfaction posting. Google participates, but we shall see.
