You're using a Google service which creates the map for you. That means you're stuck with how that service works. If you want to customise it, you need to write your own code (as it happens, Mike has just such an example in his tutorial: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/directions.htm) To get maps.google.com corrected you need to go to the data provider (see the copyright string in the bottom right-hand corner). Geocoding of addresses is usually done by guesswork, and occasionally it's not quite right. Eg: a property at one intersection is numbered 100, and 150 is next to the next intersection. It might be reasonable to assume that 126 is on the same side of the road about half-way between them. The fixed datapoints are chosen to get the best results (not just at intersections), but that's the theory behind the practice.
