	I disagree. I think it's interesting to see which cities Google Maps chooses to show. This is not a matter of population, but which cities they think the user will know. Although I think the crowded-ness on the east coast is a factor too.

	It a bit odd that Philadelphia is the only city they show on the east coast. One would have thought at least New York and Washington/Baltimore would be displayed. Neither of them are visible even if you zoom once.

	An interesting property of google maps is that the starting view depends on the top domain - put any country TLD and in many cases it zooms on that country. Doesn't work for all countries though.

	@cuendillar - Pretty sure Miami is on the East coast. Also, the city's official name is St. Louis, not Saint Louis.

	Anchorage and Edmonton don't show up when I open up Google Maps. I have to scroll to be able to see them.

	You forgot Edmonton, Anchorage, Honolulu...and you included Cincinnati even though it doesn't come up.

	arpw:	Sep 15th, 2010 at 09:18 GMT	1 point
	Cincinnati, Toledo and Tulsa didn't come up for me. However, Edmonton, Honolulu and Anchorage did if I scrolled a bit, you should probably make it clear that the quiz is only looking for cities found without scrolling the map at all.

	I was shocked when I typed in new york city and didn't receive an answer.
