Adusting addresses on Bing Maps for a new community

Hi Shawn,
No need to use the search bar on TomTom. All valid addresses are showing up when the TomTom "Address Points" layer is switched on. Using the search bar is misleading since each street has a range of *possible* addresses so any possible address in the range will show up in a general location. Again...all of the *valid* addresses for the community are now in TomTom and showed up shortly after the GIS Manager uploaded the addresses into Google. He *may* have worked through a process with TomTom, but he didn't inform me and the addresses are not spread out evenly in the same way as Google and there are some missing addresses....so, I'm doubtful that happened.
If HERE does updates every quarter then maybe we'll see something show up around June. If that happens, I'll get up with GroundCloud and see how soon they would update Fedex.
I think it's really as good as it can get at this point. Thank you so much for your help! Between me, you, and the other Google Maps expert, we made quite a bit happen. The E911 GIS manager has all the information he needs to help create a system that updates all mapping providers, so hopefully he runs with that, but in the end he may think it's not his job 🙂
