Hi
Waze has 470 shown but is missing the Marsh Bend Trail connection.

Google Maps had 470 greyed in but does not seem to be routing on it yet.
I think it’s the opposite. At least on my phone. Google maps is up to date. Apple has the area still dirt road. 4 yrs ago when first considering moving to TV it was the same. Google up to date but not Apple. Even a yr after we bought Apple was still not up to date.

Interesting that others find Apple more current than Google. Not sure what the difference is that Google is more current for me but not others. I use the google maps app and Apple Maps app on my iphone. Just checked today and as I stated above, Google current, not apple.

It’s the same up North. Our condo was built in 2000 and Apple is one street off, google has it correct. We always suggest Google maps for any one needed to GPS to either of our homes

I have found that using Waze - whenever I need to detour around anything - is a really positive experience.

That is weird? Mine shows TomTom as the map provider.

Have you tried deleting and reinstalling?

I use Google maps all the time. Gets me to everything. Including the new rec centers on Megisson. Haven’t done the #470 yet. But you just go straight down Megisson. I went and no problem.

Google Maps has a feature that allows you to add a street that is missing from their maps. My whole village has done this in DeLuna and every street has been on Google Map for awhile now even though most homes were built less than 12 months ago. We added our street as soon as we moved in and had to wait about a month to have it show up on Google Maps, but all of the subsequent streets showed up much faster.
