GPS Speed limit corrections - central database ?

I travel up/down east coast (i-95,i-77,i-81,i-75) and see a lot of errors between POSTED limits and GPS info. Is there a central system for that , or would each mfr need to correct ?
I submitted a few to Garmin and HERE, but no way I can detail ALL the errors that i see.

Brueggers poi file

I have just attempted to update the Bruegger's file. Unfortunately it just can't be done from their web site.
They have gone to a map view which you need to minimize to get a State, then maximize to find a city. Click on the "BB" and you will get a location. Then you need to back out of it and try again on another location. Not very easy to update a list.

New to POI Factory

Just a quick hello to the forum. New user of custom POIs and stumbled upon the POI Factory.

Long time GPS user...first one was TomTom software for an HP iPAQ personal data assistant with a BT connected GPS receiver. After many different models, today I use a BMW Navigator V on a K1600GTL.

Need info on an AM antenna array

I have the coordinates of an AM antenna array, and I would like to know how to obtain information on the FCC licensee, frequency, etc. It is a 3 tower array, and the coordinates of the center tower are: 39deg 27' 22.71"N, and 77deg 19' 25.17"W. This is in the Mt. Pleasant community in Frederick County, Maryland. Is there a way to get the info I want from the FCC website?
