I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I’m very sure there is even more data they have.

    It’s not the app, it’s the lack of volunteers mapping addresses in the US.
    Don’t pull your hair out, install StreetComplete and take a walk around your neighborhood.

    And if you find that fun, editing Openstreetmap in the browser isn’t all that hard, either.
    If you add addresses you are missing, you can increase the apps utility for yourself directly. Pretty fun seeing the stuff you entered appear in the map. And it doesn’t require any coding skills.

    Something you can’t do with missing info in Google Maps.
