Very interesting, how does Spotify and LastFM get your listening habits to create the recommended lists?

This is my thinking as well, I wonder if it’s still the “best” way.

Yes I have corrected Google on numerous times and sure the changes go through, only to be rescinded after about three months.

I work at a small business with only a few employees, one of my tasks is to update our online presence. Our warehouse is located in an awkward position which makes it hard for deliveries to find us, often they call for directions. I have gotten Google to change our pin position to a more correct place and also added a small road to get to us but these disappear after about three months. I have tried to contact Google about it for over a year but I have gotten no answers.

All software and services has bugs and missing features, Google maps as well.

The difference here is that the user is actually able to fix these missing details on the maps themselves if they want. Or ask the local mapping team for help.

Have you ever tried to correct anything on Google maps?

Wow, that’s so cool. 👍

Never heard of it but a great tip! Looks very nice, thank you.

Then you can map it and add it to the map with a free account and some “proof”, unlike Google Maps where the main road to my colleague and his four neighbours houses still isn’t on Google Maps after almost a year of reporting. The road is almost a year old but my colleague still can’t get deliveries to his house.

Try it out! The mapping community on OpenStreetMap is often very helpful and open to new people.

It’s the only one I know, I’ve also done mapping for them and updating several places around my home town.
