When we first moved in, our village was brand new. None of our streets were on Google Maps, but they were all in Waze. The delivery drivers knew this, and we had no problems getting deliveries. It took Google about 6 months to catch up. As one poster mentioned, Google owns Waze (acquired around 2013), but it takes Google Maps a little longer to roll out new streets, as that product is somewhat more robust. As an example, Google Maps offers offline navigation, which Waze does not.
