Correcting map and location errors in Google Earth

Correcting map and location errors in Google Earth:
We get a lot of emails from users asking us to correct data errors in Google Earth — incorrect road names, mis-marked addresses, etc. We can’t do that directly, but fortunately Google has a great solution to help you out.
To start, you don’t actually fix the errors in Google Earth; you fix them in Google Maps, and those corrections are synced into Google Earth over the course of a few weeks.
To suggest a correction, simply right-click on an area inside of Google Maps and choose “Report a problem”. The following screen will pop-up and will walk you through the process:

I’ve suggested quite a few edits to my local area, and all have been accepted into Google Earth/Maps and helped make my town more accurate. It’s a great tool to help make Google products more useful for everyone. To learn more about how this process works, you can visit this page in the Google Maps support system.
