<\/div>\n

The other day I mentioned how Google Charts API includes small maps but leaves Washington, DC off the map<\/a>. Last night when I was looking at my newly installed Google Analytics<\/a> interface (above) and I discovered another reason why Washington, DC should be included: without including Washington, DC, the map on the Google Analytics page is lacking a means to show visitors from the nation’s capital. This means all webmasters around the world who use Google’s Analytics are not being able to effectively analyze their data on the map of the United States because not every country\/territory\/region<\/i> on the continental mainland is being shown.<\/p>\n

From the screen grab above:<\/i>
\n A. There is 61.4 square miles of Country\/Territory<\/i> missing here
\n B. If Regions<\/i> are being listed, why is one being excluded from the map above?
\n C. District of Columbia is not a Region<\/i> nor are any of the States<\/i> listed below it<\/p>\n

\n

As I wrote before<\/a>, Google can add Washington, DC to the lower portion of their maps in the area where Alaska<\/a> and Hawaii<\/a> are not shown to scale. While Washington, DC may be denied statehood<\/a>, it has more inhabitants than the state of Wyoming<\/a> and should be given the same opportunity to be shown on the map of the United States. Otherwise, like the Google Analytics screen grab above, the maps will continue to be incomplete and inaccurate.<\/p>\n
