[BC] Locked panels, Google Maps

[Tom Spencer]

I think the idea behind not locking electrical panels is to be able to 
kill the power in case of fire or other emergency...

which is probably obsolete; most of the time, the fire department has 
the utility cut the wires at the pole, if needed

And Google has a contact for map problems..

I've done that  a couple of times; they usually get back within one or 
two business days.  Last one I sent in was a mention that Orange Grove 
Rd in Tucson is NOT a divided roadway, and left turns are possible from 
it.  They replied the next business day with a notice that they were 
correcting the database.

Southeast Washington DC?

Would that be in the vicinity of Andrews AFB?

There may be National Security Issues, if so - especially since that's 
the home of Air Force One...

Although I seem to be able to get pretty close from the web site / 
street view...

With consistency, the Google maps on the Android will not function in GPS mode when in the SE area of Washington DC.  I suspect it is intentional.  All you get are directions, but no GPS and no audio talk through.  The directions are impossible to follow however because you can't zoom in enough to see what the directions are telling you to do.

I would suspect that only if the panel contains the primary disconnecting means.  In a multi-tenant building however, that should not be the case either.
