SUMMARY
Sometimes you may not find an address or a location, or the information that you find may be inaccurate in the products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section. Additionally, you may be looking for a feature or a component in the product that is currently unavailable. Microsoft values all customer feedback. We want to hear from you about how we can make our products better.

Microsoft obtains the map data that is used in our products from an independent third-party geographical data provider, NAVTEQ. The data, it is about 6 months old. We take the data and hard code it to the product. This means that mapping information in the current version cannot be dynamically changed or updated. As you already know a lot of changes can occur within 6 months as new roads, streets, and homes get built. NAVTEQ updates their data on regular basis. Send your feedback to NAVTEQ on the map data to make sure the new version of the product has the latest information.

If you are looking for a new feature in the product, use the feedback form that is available in the product itself. Or, send a direct e-mail to the developers of the product. For details about how to do this, see the &quot;More information&quot; section.

Although revisions cannot be made to the data in the current versions of these products, your feedback is appreciated. It will help improve later versions of these products.
