    You can also submit corrections to Google maps. If they won’t correct it, there may be a reason. (Not to say which side of a dispute is right.)

      How do you do that? A few streets in my parents’ town are not up to date. In 2021, the views changed to what it was in 2012. But only for like 3 streets.

      Google maps doesn’t correct shit. I’ve tried multiple times to get a nonexistent road (literally, i took geotagged photos showing this “road” is untouched brushland) that cuts through my parent’s place removed, and they never responded or did anything about it.

        It took YEARS for me to get Google Maps to correct the location of a local bus stop. It showed up on the wrong street, which screwed up walking directions. They finally fixed it when I submitted a photo of the bus stop along with my report, even though it’s exactly what you see if you check the recently updated street view in the exact location I had been submitting error reports. 🤷‍♂️
