Put yourself on the map

Remember how Google Maps forgot my address? I decided to find out how to get my address put back in. Google’s help pages are quite confusing in this regard, so it took a few tries before I found the cheese, so to speak.

Beginning at the Google Maps Help Page, I found a notice that the mapping info Google Maps uses had recently changed. Aha! The source of my missing map issue!

So what do you do when you suddenly go missing? You contact Tele-Atlas, the new supplier of Google Maps data, directly. I pulled up the link to Tele-Atlas’s Map Insight feedback page and submited my address for correction.

So what happens now? Tele-Atlas built a Flash-based tutorial that describes the process. I reckon their marketing department has a lot of time on its hands!
