I am just using your Map service for Stortford Lodge, Hastings, {http://locations.aa.co.nz/hastings/stortford-autosales}, and am very curious as to why these little yellow buttons which I guess are to direct people to specific locations, like in this instance, BP Connect Stortford Lodge, shown in Ikanui Road, are very wrong. I know, because I use to live in Hastings and know that BP is on the corner of Maraekakaho Road & Heretaunga Streets, Hastings. Now on paper, this isn't so bad, but in real life, it's very bad. A 40 footer 50tn Big Rig trying to navigate Frimley in the late evening would be struggling to get anywhere, fast. Do the person setting up this function, actually know what they are doing, do they double / triple check the facts before confirming it to the website?. The reason I ask, is when you read any Newspaper, printed or webbased, you will find misrepresented information, especially around locations. And this is very poor for any Newspaper company. It just shows how lazy their staff are in doing their work. And today, with the technology we have available, time restraints are no longer an excuse. It took me all of about 30 seconds to confirm your website 'Button' was incorrect. And part of that time was due to slow loading "Google Earth" software. So, is it just brain lazy staff or simply "lazy" staff? Trevor

Hi there,
Thanks for bring that to our attention. The system is a little harder to setup, and the system especially doesn't like corner addresses.
However we have amended this location to reflect a more accurate address, which should be visible later today.
