In Australia, many companies have started to rely on location services ... in particular google's borked version of it ... even if their map is marked correctly - they are two totally separate things. It took me a while to try and work out why I had issues validating my physical address, since I am on a boundary of a couple different regional authorities, even though there were so many bewildered and lost delivery people I would end up helping out where or which entirely different suburb they should be in even if I didn't know the exact address. Apple's location I have found to be much sharper but few delivery services utilise their location services. Google I suspect, given how many are glaring wrong in my locale [Whitsunday - Mackay Queensland region for any google employee who'd like to protest] are simply IMO running a dark pattern and waiting for businesses to make an account to fix the obviously wrong location. However it would have also been better if they'd not simply got most location's suburb from the local phone company which labelled using the node the physical node came in from ... but on the other hand every scammer who phones up uses the wrong address gives themselves away so I guess that's the silver lining.
