Inappropriate?Hi hiro, we understand that things like that can be frustrating. All of our location data is third party (from Google) so there is no easy way for us to update or change things. Is it the names of streets that are wrong or the names of the places? If it's the latter, one thing you can do is add a custom label to a location if you wanted to show the correct name for that place. To do this, you would just enter the following in the search bar on the web:
Address [Insert Custom Label Here]
You can then placemark locations that you've given labels so that your checkins are easier. More on custom labels here:

I hope that helps some.

Inappropriate?I think he means don't display the right address, it's somewhere in denmark, at least from experience. The GPS location is right so the correct point shows on the map with the wrong address and place name in parenthesis. Google does have the right information. I use it quite a bit in Tokyo to search for places. -
Inappropriate?Because a correct address is contributed when it is Signal Fire(iPhone Apps) way, I think that it is not a problem of Geocoding of Google.

Inappropriate?I'm having some problems with signal fire. Bright kite seems to display the same location information I'd get using the official brightkite app, that is to say pretty inaccurate information. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
