Takes about 10 months to a year

I moved into Soulliere Villas 4 years ago. We are right off of 42 between 301 and 441. Still cannot get a GPS reading.

I just checked Google Maps and the streets and homes are all identified on the map. And when I right click on any of the houses, I get the GPS coordinates. When was the last time you checked Google Maps????

The free Village's app has the streets first. It can take up to 6-12 months for Google or the Apple maps to catch up. Wayze is guicker. Don't blame the county or TV they send them the data but they need to actually drive the streets before they will publish them on line.

Still waiting for Chitty Chatty to get on the main GPS apps. WAZE is the only one that has it.

In 2010 I was arriving at our brand new Home in Pennacamp 18 hour drive, car full of stuff, at 1800. GPS stopped working just south of LSL.

Women runs into street in front of my car, screaming her husband fell was in pain, had no phone to call anyone.
I pushed blue Onstar button. Told them I was in new area. She not only could pinpoint my exact location, the rescue pulled up behind me @2 minutes and 41 seconds. Onstar stated exact time response, I knew it was under 3 minutes, but not as accurate as her info.

So address can be updated quickly as new neighborhoods are built, its just not done in a timely manor

Just to reiterate - you can add what you need TODAY to Waze, and it will show up within days on the general map.
