If you do so then the listing will vanish!  Even changing phone number will make it disappear .. Odd thing Google

I've done it & it hasn't disappeared I've just amended it. Greame I would like to create a yahoo map do you know how I would do that, yet again spent time looking at how to do it but can't see off hand.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Don't know how you would do this but i guess its similar. Sign up etc then just find the right things to click.

To be honest i wouldn't even bother with yahoo as i don't think many use it.

I think Yahoo maps are just for the USA.  Trying to get a free listing on Yahoo is tricky, you have to go through a third party who try to sell you stuff!  It took months before my listing appeared in the business section.

and also register with Thomson Local as this will get you onto the Bing Maps. Takes time to get onto maps so earlier you do it the better.
