Fuck Google Maps. I’ve been requesting to fix my road for 6 months now (new house I just purchased this year). They refuse. So now any website that uses google apis to validate addresses fucks me over. My road turns from “<road> Drive” to “<road> Court” at a junction with another road. Google maps just calls the whole road “Drive”.
The road signs even show up in street view. And the other roads around me that have the same structure are all correct.
Use OSM (Organic Maps app). I’m almost certain someone in the OSM community has mapped your road. If not, let me know, I’ll map it for you.
It’s mapped properly in every other database outside of google (including Waze which is now owned by Google). But I can’t make websites not use Google’s database for address validation. I don’t use google maps personally.
