how to report errors in online maps or your GPS

Hat tip to my brother Alex for passing on these tips from the Director of the Vermont Association of Travel Professionals:

Due to the large number of manufacturers of GPS, and the fact that users do not always update their maps, correcting or adding information can be a difficult task. However, to begin to properly update an address on a variety of GPS mapping products, here is a list of the major GPS providers and links to their update pages:

Tele Atlas provides the source data to companies such as Google, TomTom, and several automobile manufacturers. You can provide feedback on their maps at: http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedback/index.php

NAVTEQ is similar to Tele Atlas and map feedback can be reported at: http://mapreporter.navteq.com/

Garmin manufactures GPS devices and map errors can be reported at: http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/errorForm.jsp

Rand McNally offers online mapping and print mapping options. To report map errors go to http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/company/cmpContactUs.jsp?cmty=0
(Click on “Feedback about online maps, driving directions, and trip planning”)

Google Maps provides online maps and directions. Errors can be reported at: http://www.google.com/local/add

MapQuest also provides online maps and directions. Errors can be reported at: http://help.mapquest.com/jive/mqdataerror.jspa
