I found that on upon searching for the birth place of buddha in google maps the result shown is
birthplace of buddha

This is the totally wrong and also is blunder.
The birth place of buddha is Lumbini and the country is Nepal
not india. I request the team of google to correct that mistake.because it has been proved that the birthplace of buddha is nepal.These type of mistakes makes negative impacts on the people of our country so this is a plea of me on behalf of my whole countrymen and fellows that correct the mistake that has been made in this site. You guys please check all the proofs for that i am sure that google team will find out the problem and will fix this out.i Will be looking forward for positive response to this comment. And lastly also i want to assure you that what i am commenting to google team is 100 % truth
Thank you for reading out this comment cause.

I would consider myself a more experienced computer user. I’ve posted for help a handful of times because I can’t get anything verified – the canned response is to use mail verification, but that option isn’t listed for my account on the majority of entries. I finally got a response from a Google employee…to spend more time editing my business names to make them how Google wanted them (even though the names I put down are how they’re listed on our website, in the phone book, etc…no funny business here). Did all of that – and, then, zero help with the problems I’ve been having. So I sunk even more time into these entries – at Google’s request, no less – and still have zero help from them re: the technical issues with my account.

If someone like WMC has an e-mail address for Google support, I’d love to have it. Luckily I don’t have people calling my house at 3 AM for “services”, but search marketing is one of my goals at my job and Google’s lack of any sort of help is impacting my performance.

The reason that Google wants to fix this person’s problem (and countless others like it)?

LAWSUITS!

OK, I’m no lawyer. But if I’m in this guy’s shoes, I’m thinking:

* Libel
* Defammation of Character
* Etc., Etc.,

I wish I was so lucky as these folks. With Google’s cash, they would probably settle out of court for BIG $$$$. If not, it’s conceiveable these folks could get BIGGER $$$$ by going to trial.

Imagine the media circus, the PR, coming up on Goood MOrning America!

Good Luck!

I and the folks that frequent this blog would love to have the email and phone number that you mention for Google Maps where one might find some support.

Mapping technology the way Google is trying to use it, has not been successfully done before….there are going to be road bumps. That being said, why complain here? Wouldn’t an email/phone call to Google(yes they are listed, give me a break!) been a better use of your time?

I am questioning whether he should have to.

But for Google Maps to be useful, every resident in the US should not have to learn the intricacies of the Local Business Center. Should folks not be able to get map directions without worrying that Granny’s home address has been hijacked by someone in the sex industry?
