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 ...

There is more going on Shawn..all good, but I'm not sure what's happening since our county GIS manager won't answer my emails any more.
Shortly after (like just a few days) the GIS manager uploaded all the addresses for our community (as well as some others) into Google Maps and those addresses showed up on Google Maps, all of those addresses (with the exception of a couple) showed up on Tom Tom.
If you look at Tom Tom now, you will now see all those addresses showing up when you switch on the "Address Points" layer. All of those addresses are valid addresses and match with Google which matches what the GIS Manager uploaded. The only difference is that the Tom Tom addresses are not neatly in line like on Google. Again...those showed up just a few days after they showed up in Google.
What I don't know is if the GIS Manager worked with TomTom. I emailed him that question and he hasn't responded.
For reliable shipping, HERE is more important. Last I heard from the GIS manager, he had tried to upload using upload.here.com but that was 3 weeks ago. They may update all of their systems monthly or quarterly or maybe they are simply disorganized with broken processes.
UPS uses an internal "Orion" system. I went over to our local service center. I was told they access USPS address data (which is "good" since they get their data from E911) but for addresses that are not in their system they add those manually. I got an email address of someone in UPS that may have been able to help and sent them all of my information like a plat of our community showing street names and addresses and the E911 GIS contact. Heard nothing. Tried talking to a couple of angry UPS drivers who couldn't check anything in their system and seemed to really hate the system.
Anyway...I guess I have pushed that noodle as far as I can. With your help and the help from the Google Maps expert, we made a lot of progress and it's interesting to understand the overall process.
Best,
Michael

Apr 23, 2022HI Michael,
Just to let you know that I reported each and every address you sent me in that txt file earlier to the TomTom Mapshare, so the points may not be that lined up, you can report it to be adjusted though 🙂
Thanks,
Shawn

- MichaelHarawayApr 23, 2022Brass ContributorLooks like there is 48 addresses on Tom Tom and 66 (the number of homesites in the community) on Google Maps. I sent you a file with 23 addresses, so there are now an additional 25 addresses showing up on TomTom 🙂 I'll adjust and add as new satellite imagery is released 🙂
