What do you mean by "confusing"? They have different names. If you select "California St" you get California St, and if you select "California Ave" you get California Ave.

For me the issue is my own home address. I own an iphone and verified it. Typing out my direction: Address, City, State, Zip Code will direct you to an address in the neighboring city with a similar looking address(address number is wrong and Ave is Street). I give people a neighboring address close to me that I know works if they own an iphone. Apple Maps has also gotten me lost or stuck in terrible traffic. I really hate Apple Maps.

  That's remarkably bizarre. Typing out a full structured address should always be parsed correctly. Have you reported this to Apple? The Apple Maps apps (iPhone and macOS) have a means by which you can report a variety of issues, including incorrect search results. In my experience Apple tends to be pretty good about handling these.

    My address also kicks off this issue in Apple Maps. I live on XYZ Street, it will send you off to XYZ Road on the other end of the city. I never reported it as I just immediately went back to Google Maps, but I'll do that now, good suggestion.

You tap on a California St address and Maps directs you to the same address but on California Ave...

  I still can't reproduce this. I just put the two following addresses into Notes: 23 California St, San Francisco, CA 23 California Ave, San Francisco, CA then tapped on both of them and Maps brought me to the correct spot each time.

      That is because 94130 is the ZIP code for Treasure Island. You've got the wrong address mate! California St is at 94104 Please don't blame Apple Maps for user error You're searching for "California St, San Francisco, CA 94130" and Apple seems to parse this from right to left. California Ave happens to be the closest match to "California St" in ZIP code 94130 and apparently is a stronger signal than "California St, San Francisco, CA !94130 but actually 94104"

      Oops, good catch!

Why am I being further downvoted after the issue was confirmed downthread as user error?
