Hi group!
I am running MapSource 6.15.7 and CNNA 2010.2
My unit is a GPSMAP 76csx.
I noticed that a prominent government building is more than 200 yards from
where MapSource say it is.

Is there any way of manually correcting its location into CNNA 2010.2?
(maybe Garmin's POI loader?)
I don't want just to report it, as I am sure Garmin will say it will be
fixed in the latest version of CNNA which you can purchase for megabucks!

You might do better just getting the gov't to move the building :-)

I haven't paid much attention to such things, but a few decades ago, when I
lived in Providence, RI, I noticed that a Unitarian church a few blocks
from where I lived was located a block off in the USGS topo map.

I guess I mentioned that just to say be kind to mappers...

Look at N28 55.890 W82 22.540 with any of the maps available. Then
compare it to Google Earth or Bing Birds eye view. There are 5
streets there with only 4 names. The 4 names are on the wrong
streets and one is left unnamed. I sent this information and
pictures to Navtec and Garmin showing it 3 years ago. Still not
fixed.

        I agree with you that we should ask the goverment to move the buildings. I
have my own POI problem that most of them are outdated.

        Over a year ago, I was trying to find some scrap metal to add the
drop-down gate to the tilt trailer. I tried the POI of Nuvi 680, and I
spent about a week with around 300 miles driving around to find NONE. Or
all the businesses already CLOSED years ago, some even up to decade (I
stopped and asked one worker and he told me it was there many moons ago).

        And did I forget to mention that *all* older Garmin GPSes can't be able to
get to my 37-39 years old house, and Nuvi 680 finally found it way home.

Which begs my original point.
Is there a way to fix this manually?
There are, I believe, ways to upload NEW POIs.
