truth is OSM has proven to be more accurate in areas I frequent vs Gmaps. We've got into multiple "situations" because of Gmaps
Like what?
like leading us the wrong way. Or completely ignoring existence oh our house.
I've never seen it get my home location incorrect... And the only wrong ways I've seen it involve are roadblocks.
consider yourself lucky then
Not op but one i encountered was that gmaps kept sending people down a private road with a locked gate before someone submitted feedback and got it changed
