Adusting addresses on Bing Maps for a new community
MicrosoftI apologize that you were directed away from the answers forum. The fastest way to get this into Bing Maps is to use the feedback link on Bing.com/maps. You will have to enter each individually but they will then be researched for "Ground Truth" so please ensure the the municipality also has this information. Bing Maps actually does not use any Google data for our sources but rather our Partner Tomtom provides our US address data.

Thank you for the reply and for the useful information to help me direct further research and inquiries.
Working with Google, I provided pictures and and a municipal document showing the community layout which allowed us to first get correct road names into the system then correct addresses associated with wrong street names then finally add addresses for in-progress to complete houses. Not ideal but that allows people in the neighborhood to hopefully receive packages that have been lost or delivered to a similar sounding road nearby.
No way to do that through an automated system (and I have put a couple of submissions into Bing Maps using the feedback link).
With Bing maps, all addresses seem to be in place just off by ~100 feet +- on average.
I'll research further with Tom Tom and also try finding where to verify information with the municipality.
Much Thanks
Michael
Great that you went a step ahead and submitted a question on the forum 🙂 I will try to help you out- Thanks all. Re: openmap Currently, openmap shows nothing for the community. No roads are drawn and no addresses will show up in search.
I added more information that may help on my TomTom forum post and now that I've investigated further on Bing, I think I see what's happening. Looks like there is a range of addresses associated with the roads and Bing, TomTom, HERE grabs that range from whatever source and lays them out along the road.
Google, for whatever reason, seems to have access to different information as they show some correct addresses (ie, in their correct location) of homes not built yet. Not all the addresses; just a few but they show no erroneous addresses. I had to add all the others.
