Adusting addresses on Bing Maps for a new community
Hello, I recently spent a few weeks getting the streets and addresses updated and added to Google Maps for our new community. There is an online process that I tried to use back in January, but ...
Hi Shawn,
Fedex delivered to our rental house today so I spent some time talking to the driver about our issues and it's not good.
He had 2 systems he uses.
The Fedex system which at the bottom of the screen showed the source as TomTom. None of our addresses came up in the system. The Fedex system he was using from from GroundCloud. Now, the strange thing is I just called GroundCloud and talked to a tech guy and he told me they integrate data from HERE and Google. Apparently, once it's available from HERE, it's available through groundcloud and presumabley Fedex.
Personal Apple phone. Again, Apple has no streets or addresses for the new community.
So, as of right now, that particular Fedex driver would not be able to deliver a package to the community.
Looks like Amazon uses GroundCloud (HERE, possible some Google, and possibly some TomTom) as well.
I just shared all of that with the GIS manager so hopefully we can make some progress. What a mess...
Best,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Thanks for sharing, yes, it is very big mess. It is very complex to make a map as well, also the licensing, money that is spent on making it, the imagery they use and so on..
They can't copy from Google Maps as the terms of conditions forbids others to use their data to prevent competition.
It seems that the address in your new neighbourhood has been published into TomTom Maps,

Kindly use the above link to check if the address are correct, it should arrive in Bing maps when they implemented it properly so that the maps will guide you to the right place and everything works in search, maps.
Here Maps, they told me they will check with the maps team about this, though they only do quarterly map updates.
Actually, the GroundCloud will have to pay for the map updates for their fleet, it is not free.
Thank you 🙂
Have a wonderful day!
Shawn
PS: I have noticed a lot of new parks, roads, addressing, lakes errors on my local area and it seems everything is being accepted. TomTom is very nice to provide weekly updates, so will probably see on Bing maps very soon.
