Default Bing Maps

just signed up to my facebook fan page and noticed on the information page a "Bing Map", my question is , is ther something similar to googles location for it and if so how do you go about getting your business linked to it, the reason is that when the postcode is put in it actually shows the industrial units next to ours rather than directly on ours

From the looks of things it is a combined effort by Multi Map and Bing it doesn’t look like an advertising platform.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to find out how to directly set your own location so you can set it to your gym and not the industrial unit next to it?

yes thats it more or less, with google maps i can pinpoint exactly where we are, with bing is shows as the industrial estate next to us.....probably the postcode covers both areas

This could be a glitch or like you said could be based on the postcode, we have this issue with some of our maps and it simply shows some waste land.
