Rob Pegoraro, the tech writer for the Washington Post, answered a similar question in this weekends paper. He suggested going to the source (Teleatlas or Navteq) and pointing out the mistake:
Q Most of the online mapping sites can't find my home address. Is there a company I can contact to fix this? ATwo firms, Tele Atlas and Navteq, supply data to the big mapping sites. Both have Web pages where a user can report errors: http://mapfeedback.teleatlas.com and http://mapreporter.navteq.com. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/22/AR2007092200092.html?sub=AR Hope this helps.
