396 question
It's wrong there too. Interesting.

That got me wondering what is the process by which Garmin (or whoever) builds the database? Can I submit an error to get the database fixed? Garmin buys the database from a third party (I think Navteq, they also supply google maps -- see if the same error shows up on google maps)

396 question
Are we talking a block off? A mile off? Or next town over?
I've noticed that Google maps, in some smaller towns especially on not main roads seem to look like they are estimating based off of some more primary street. My home address shows up one block away from where it really is and I have a XX00 address and it shows on the corner a block East of where it really is.
