Apple, I apologize

[dreamshark]

After 6 months trash-talking Apple Maps while I waited for the upgraded Google Maps, I finally upgraded my iPhone to IOS 6.  So when we headed out to Alexandria for "Tatge Christmas" I had TWO maps programs to choose from to help find the inlaws' house.  Naturally I tried good old reliable Google Maps first. It was a failure, insisting that Doug and Pat lived in the unmanned gatehouse of their gated community. So I gave up and tried Apple Maps, which flawlessly led us 1/2 mile through suburban cul-de-sacs and right to their door. 

So Apple Maps will be my first choice going forward. Unless I need to find Dulles Airport, or the Washington Monument.

Is the error also in the web version?

In either case, please send feedback (probably easier in the web version if the error appears there) so that it can be fixed. (I've sent in several corrections and AFAICT they have all been applied, though one took a while probably because it was in the midst of a road construction zone at the time....)

Are you talking about Google? I didn't know there was a way to send feedback to Google. How do you do that?

On maps.google.com there should be a pair of links at the bottom right of the map window: "Edit in Google Map Maker" and "Report a problem". The former will let you update the map info yourself, while the latter has some general categories like "Address/Marker" (for a marker or address search that goes to the wrong place) or "Road/Street" (incorrect street name, missing or wrong one-way marker, etc).
