Ask HN: How to tell Google/Apple maps that a road is for buses only?
I was just fined £60 for passing through a "bus gate" in the UK that Google Maps navigated me straight through. I am sure will continue to happen to tons of people.
I recently changed my address's GPS coordinates on google maps—is it possible to do something similar for navigation?

- TurkishPoptart 5y agoOn Apple Maps, use the "report a problem feature". A team of underpaid contractors in Seattle will adjust it in OpenStreetMap, and Apple Maps will ingest the data after a few weeks. t. worked on this terrible team
- boxed 5y agoDo you happen to know how that ingest works? There are some foot paths near my house I put in and fixed over the years and none of them are in Apple maps. Does it only ingest the changes the apple team makes?
- TurkishPoptart 5y agoThey're interested in street-level roads and higher, as well as POI. Stuff that would support turn-by-turn directions. I'd suspect that if they are foot paths, then they aren't prioritizing non-roads/streets.
- habi 5y agoCan you link us to the exact location on OpenStreetMap.org? The someone can make sure that the situation is correct for users of OSM, too.
