Ask HN: Anything I can do about my missing address on Google Maps?

1 pointsby sleepychuover 1 year ago
Nobody can find my house (UK), it is somewhat unusual in that it pre-dates the neighbours and so shares a postcode and road name with the main road not the cul-de-sac it is now situated in. It also has no house number.<p>Google knows there is a building here (there is a dotted outline on the map) and that it doesn&#x27;t know the address (if I drop a pin on the building I get a button &quot;Add Address Address may not be up to date&quot;)<p>We&#x27;ve clicked that button a few times over the years and received an email telling us the new address has been submitted for review but that is the end of what we hear from Google.<p>IIRC Apple maps does return the correct location if you search for our address.<p>So, this is my bat signal! Is there anything I can do?

You could move to a house that shows on Google Maps.

Get other people, especially with local guide status, go add the address in gmaps.

Is there any data on openstreetmap about this? Some systems use osm for navigation, since its one of the few maps that are gdpr compliant. An changes there have been taken over to google a few times in my expirience.
