You can actually do this with Google maps too. It can take time for them to actually make changes though
We had this same problem and did just this. 3 years later still no changes. Until my dad happened to be complaining about it at a party and was introduced to a friend of a friend that worked at Google with the maps team. Was finally fixed a week later. So yea a path exists but 3 years is a long time to wait for a simple fix.
I swear they use the Maps Contributor ratings to determine how quickly they make changes.
I've not had any issues getting changes made in a timely manner when I suggest them because I've left a bunch of reviews and photos for places I've visited.
If you never leave reviews or photos, they probably don't trust your suggestions. That's just my guess though.
Makes sense that was the only time I used the suggestion tool.
A few months ago I reported a missing section of road where I'm from and they corrected it in like a couple of weeks. Maybe it depends on how many people reports the same thing? IDK
I'm always divided about it. At one hand, I want to help people not getting lost, but at the other, I don't want to contribute to google.
You can... IF other people do it too.
How? Every single adress is wrong on google for the whole muncipiality since they standarized the road numbering 3 years ago.
Thanks. Will give it a shot
You can also make submissions to Apple Maps.
Even though these are massive corporations, they kinda do rely on feedback here.
