Default Mapping is wrong

A client of ours who got an auto search email pointed out the incorrect mapping of this property located in Bellingham... the mapping shows Massachusetts. Please see below & next thread - I wasn't able to attach the map to this thread.

Hey, Janice,
Unfortunately it seems like this is a problem with Google Maps. This is the location they provide based on that address. I don't believe there's much we can do about this - someone else from the team can confirm this on Monday.

Andy is correct. Google maps isn't always perfect and since we use them as the source of our geocodes any error there will be an error for us.

You will notice that typing the address of the listing into maps.google.com it does bring up the address in Massachusetts. One thing you can do is provide us with the geocodes (longitude, Latitude) for the listing and we can manually add the geocodes. ( it does require a small work order )

Thank you,
