I bought a house in when internet mapping was less mature, but still important, and many of the online data sources simply did not have the address. This was good at first, since very few people seemed to have been able to find the open house and bid against us, but it was annoying in the long run because you'd ask for Internet service to be installed and the technicians would blow off 2 appointments driving around the city lost and eventually you would have to talk them to the location turn-by-turn. The solution was to complain vociferously to the folks that maintained data sources. In those days it was Google, someone else, and it turned out the remainder of the defective commercial products were put out by a predecessor of, I think, the folks who eventually published or supplied the data for HERE We Go. Basically, every few months I would call them or write messages to them, social engineering who might be in a position to fix it. They did respond pretty quickly, for a bigcorp, but it took a few years for the prior versions of their database to cycle out of usage.
