Further exploration, however, has revealed that labeling is apparently a matter of scale (Update: at least some of the time). Or in Google Maps terminology, as zoom level changes, the labeling for the University of Kentucky changes as well.
For example:
- At Zoom Level 12, the area for the University of Kentucky is shaded differently but no labels are shown.
- At Zoom Level 13, the area is labeled as the University of Kentucky. (Update: Or at least it did when we did this at 1:15 pm on 11/11/2010. As of 2:00 pm on 11/11/2010 Zoom Level 13 shows Transylvania University. See screenshots below.).
- At Zoom Level 14 (and higher), the area is labeled as Transylvania University.
This still doesn't explain why the University of Kentucky is mislabeled at the higher zoom levels. (Update: Or why the labels seem to be flipping back and forth at zoom level 13. Lucky number 13...)
The links above showed this change when we posted on 11/11/2010 but since the base map will change, static screen shots of the different zoom levels are below.
Zoom Level 12, No Labels
