I tried twice when we moved here, my suggestions were never taken. I gave up and just use my business to give directions now.

  Have you tried E.G. for Google Maps you click on a point and hold it until a pin forms In the pin popup there's the GPS co-ordinates Click the GPS again and it loads the point not as decimal GPS but... 47°26'46.8"N 122°17'51.4"W For KSEA Seattle International Airport's departure's drive

    I have never seen a business accept GPS coordinates instead of the actual home address, for booking at-home services.

      Grab (the South East Asian Uber) lets you place the pin. I did just that when I grew tired of delivery drivers entering the wrong gate because the address’ pin was closer to the other side of my corner.

      It's somewhat common in certain countries, e.g. Mongolian addresses are now given using what3words coordinates, which are just GPS coordinates with proprietary sugarcoating.

I'm not OP, but in a faintly similar situation. We have a house at the end of a private driveway, and Google for some reason believes there to be a continuation of that driveway to the neighborhood behind us. We've told them many, many times that the road they think exists does not in fact. It works for a while, then after a few months it reverts and we start getting visitors coming down the private driveway believing they can cut through to the neighborhood.

Edits to google maps typically get reverted after a month, at least they do for me and others I’ve read about online. I worry they’re resting on their laurels

  That feels like a regular import of wrong data. I always assumed that Google used location data to help routing. Especially location data from people not using any navigation. But these stories suggest the system is a lot dumber.

In my case they use a completely malformed/made up street name. I personally have tried to edit my address issue it 10+ times already, but they keep rejecting it. It would be good to know based on what they get GIS/map data because then I could try to edit at the source. It doesn't seem that the reports go to someone with local knowledge or within that country. And someone from abroad won't care about the local nuances that make a difference.
