Google isn't always automatically right about everything.

If you input my own parents house into google maps and apple maps both take you to a quarry on an entirely separate road. OpenStreetMap is correct, though,

You can make suggestions on Google Maps to correct wrong addresses. I did it for a friends farm and occasionally Google will send me an email telling X # of people have benefited from my update

I've tried to tell Google a few times that this one road in Aroostook county doesn't exist, was only at best ever an access road for tractors. They don't listen even though it's obviously covered in downed trees and things on street view, lol.

That's typically because the town has it on a map. 911 street maps that all towns are supoose to have is where maps typically get thier data. User suggestions can help but usually you need more then one report unless your a local guide or have a really high user score. It's hard to get reports when your north of the internet.

Yeah the dirt road that accesses my dirt road is listed as a road where it is at best an atv trail and my road is gated but shows on Google as public and open.

Yeah, sometimes they ain’t the smartest. Do it from another Google account and see if that helps
