A Useful Toronto Map?

Over the last little while we've been working on an interactive Toronto map that combines the familiar Google map interface with all the reviews and profiles we've created for Toronto restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, groceries, art galleries, book stores, fashion and design stores.
While we still think the map can be improved, we wanted to open it up to you, our readers, to get some initial feedback before we proceed with making any more design or functionality tweaks. If you have a moment, please check out the new Toronto map page and let us know what you think in the comments below. Thanks.

2) Ajuker Chicken in Koreatown is gone, so how do I the user quickly and easily help make the map more accurate with this information?
I don't understand why the results pane refreshes when I recenter the map, but the results stay the same. It's distracting and misleading. Is there a way to limit the results to what is contextualized in the frame? If I'm centering on Dupont and Spadina, why am I seeing Volo and Andy Poolhall? I want to see what's going on on Dupont. I would use this as a 'what's new in my neighbourhood that I haven't seen yet' tool ? while the arrows point out what locations are there, it's much easier to glean your information from a list of locations than hover>tooltip>click for more info>move onto the next one.

Piggybacking on the last one: for example, Mexitaco is in the wrong spot (one cross street over) ? how would this easily get changed? Would we comment on a never-ending thread, is there an email address for map changes...?
Great idea though.
