Hi Michael,

I would like to point out as IoTGirl explained that TomTom provides the base map of Bing Maps as shown in the bottom right of Bing Maps & Windows Maps!

TomTom has a map reporter where you can add addresses or fix up them or suggest edits as well as ways to submit documents as well 🙂

Also, you may ask assistance to get the whole area fixed, maybe a moderator there can get in touch with you with a direct contact with TomTom to fix this 🙂

It is likely either TomTom or a supplier that they use was informed about the new community changes that was added or it was added via another source like Openstreet Maps?

hope that helps 🙂

have a wonderful day!

Hi Michael,
As Shawn reminds me, you might also look into updating Open Street Maps, the worldwide open mapping platform used by many humanitarian organizations.
Sincerely,

Good idea! TomTom after accepting the report usually takes the next Monday to push the update which in turn gets sent to the Bing Maps team that implements into the Windows Maps and so on..

Which takes a bit longer to implement so that everything works. 🙂 Open Street Maps isn't listed as a source on Bing Maps also the Vexcel Birds Eye isn't that great for showing where the houses were, so guessing they were adding the address of what they seen. Best for the city to inform them the exact coordinates of what ntos. 🙂
