One of the LDSTech Conference presentations talked about improvements coming to LDS.org Maps. Current beta (alpha?) versions of what they demoed are available here:

Re: Beta LDS.org Maps
It looks nice. I noticed some things:
- I don't see where the new map shows whether or not a location is verified.
- If I zoom out and look at all the dots in my stake and click on a dot, it shows me the person, but the details don't include the unit name of which the person/family is a member. The current map doesn't do that, either, but this would be very valuable information, especially when you consider that we have a language unit and a singles unit.

I think in the presentation they said that they were doing away with the "verified" status. I don't remember if they said why.
You should definitely send your second bullet point as feedback.

Re: Beta LDS.org Maps
Do we submit feedback on beta maps through the normal Feedback link, or is there somewhere else we should use for beta?
As much as I'd love to watch a bunch of the LDS Tech presentations, reality is that I will probably never have the time. It's unfortunate that they'd get id of "verified." it doesn't make a lot of sense. We use that to figure out whose location we need to verify.

I guess through the normal feedback link, since there's no link on the beta maps page.

Re: Beta LDS.org Maps
There are a number of apartment building addresses in my Stake (West Jordan Utah Westbrook) that have incorrect residence Wards assigned. What do I need to do as Stake Clerk to get these corrected? I have the building addresses and correct residence Ward information already determined.

Actually there is a feedback link on the Beta maps. Click the question mark icon in the lower right corner and in that menu is a feedback link.

Re: Beta LDS.org Maps
You can use the regular feedback. Just tell them you're commenting about beta maps.
