User-adjusted business mapping at Google

Google lets users fine-tune maps

This San Jose Mercury News article describes a new feature of Google's mapping technology. With the new feature, common users are allowed to directly adjust the "true" location of a business address. The address of a business might be the side street, but the front entrance is on the big boulevard. If so, make the adjustment and voila!

Businesses that sign up for their local "Business Center" can restrict movement of their address marker. Sounds a bit like intimidation?
