Change of address

TrackBack Address.

Today Google Maps introduced a very useful new feature. If you find an address that doesn’t look quite right you can fix it, so that the address you’ve entered matches the actual map.

Having just purchased a new house, I was able to try the new map correction feature because my address was incorrectly listed as belonging to a house five doors east of my actual home. As you can see below, Google allowed me to correct the error. Note that if you move the marker more than 200 meters, a moderator has to approve your changes before they appear live on the Web.

Also notice the "Show original" link above, which is pretty handy if you want to check your work.
