NAVTEQ Map Reporter - Consumer Input on Maps and POI

Not to be outdone, NAVTEQ has launched their own consumer input area on their website so that you can check on their maps and bring mapping issues to their attention. It's called the Map Reporter. TeleAtlas launched a similar consumer input area, called MapInsight several months ago, and while this isn't a source of great volumes of changes (they get millions of updates per month from other sources), I would imagine it's a great place to vent some frustration and get a few minor issues explored to your satisfaction. NAVTEQ has a fairly easy to use interface with draggable maps to pan left and right on the screen. If you are missing a road, this interface is great. If you are concerned about Points of Interest, the Map Reporter does not display the current POI's, so it's a bit harder to give them input.
