Some travel agents add our hotel in wrong location and when we tryed correct all these wrong information Google made about 1 month to be sure that we are the owners. This happen because Google need authorize that we are the owners first via phone (but hotel is closed all winter period) and after via letter but this take alot of time. Think now if your property is about 6 times in wrong location!! I think is better Google before add any property in Google map to make pre-authorization. I had some problems with Google maps.

It very smartly overlays google functionality with a very well thought out and presented flash layer. http://rideoregonride.com/trails/ One of the most amazing uses of google maps that I’ve seen on a travel/tourist related site is the Ride Oregon Trails site.
