I imagine certain features like Google Maps’ different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

    Yes, many times. I’d say 80% of the time, my correction goes through the same day.

    Have you ever tried to correct something on Google Maps? I get the desire to want to switch to open alternatives, and I’m all for it, but Google Maps is not exactly hard to get fixed yourself.

      Yes I have corrected Google on numerous times and sure the changes go through, only to be rescinded after about three months.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