Google Maps Marker Editing

Back on Oct 18, I described how to submit map corrections to NAVTEQ. I suppose I’ll have to wait several more months to know if my “bug report” actually works its way through the system.

In the meantime, Google came up with their own solution. You can now edit map markers directly in Google Maps:

You just click Edit, and then drag the marker. This is way easier than the NAVTEQ system, with instant results.

While this is a great enhancement, I hope it isn’t just a Google Maps annotation. I hope they have a way to feed these edits back into the root data, so ultimately all mapping services start to see the corrections after some period of time.
