I deliver pIzza and all of our in-store routing software is tied to Google. It's a good GPS but it gets so much wrong. During rushes it's the job of the managers to route us on doubles or triples and I've gotten routed on badly-chosen doubles (i.e. 3 miles from each other) because Google thought the addresses were right next to each other. Sometimes it's a customer issue, like a typo on the website but most of the time it's Google being dumb.
You can submit corrections to Google and most of the time they accept them. When I delivered pizza in a rural area I had to do it multiple times a week and most were accepted. Helped fix mileage and stopped me from getting lost the next time.
Random plug for openstreetmaps here, if you're already willing to submit updates to maps why not support a free alternative?
That's a good point, I should've done both. I only did Google because I know my coworkers used Google.
