Default How long before new houses are on Google Maps?

We are buying a new construction house in the Hammock at Fenney. I'm wondering how long it takes for the new streets and addresses to be added to Google Maps for deliveries etc.

It seems like it takes a long while. I have reported our house to Google Maps a few times (purchased in March). The street has appeared, but not individual houses. I did save a 'pin' at our house which is very helpful.

You can do it.

1. Open Google Maps
2. Click send feedback in the bottom right hand corner, or access the menu and scroll down and click send feedback
3. Click Missing road
4. Enter the road name
5. Submit

Waze will typically get them much quicker. I haven't checked in a bit, but you used to be able to enter in your own roads and addresses in Waze. I did our entire neighborhood when we first moved in.

The Villages app (white V on green background, free) is very good at keeping up with the new roads and addresses, probably won't help for deliveries.

Waze is the more dependable map in TV and the delivery folks seem to be aware of that. We moved to TV in early 2017...it was new construction and our street wasn't in the google map in my 2 -year-old car. Waze had the street from the get go. This past January I purchased a new car...the google software in the new car was the latest version...it doesn't recognize our street.

one would think the software would have been updated. I use an address one street over when I'm in the car and choose to use the car's navigation system to get home...it works

I recall reading somewhere that google purchased WAZE a few years back...not sure if that actually happened

I have found the same thing but I am really surprised that if you do deliveries here and into new areas, why wouldn't you use all the tools available to you. I've mentioned it to many of the delivery or service people.

Yes, back in 2013...

So it makes no sense why one would have more data on new roads than the other...

WAZE is typically much more up-to-date than Google Maps.

Google owns Waze! One thing is for certain it will take years for Apple Maps to update new areas.

Yep, they are not even close to Google Maps. Google is a Data mining company, Apple will never come close.

Took over 1.5 years for Google maps to get the streets laid out correctly with individual addresses in our area of Marsh Bend. I’d sent several correction reports starting 15-months prior. As mentioned above Waze and Apple Map were correct long before Google

Good luck with contacting them to make the update. I’ve tried no less than nine times to get our new addresses in. Three years, and they’re still not found, so no food deliveries (door dash, Uber eats, etc.) since you must enter your address to even get started and they all use Google Maps. Any other deliveries, I tell them to use Waze. Very frustrating!
