I tend to agree in regards to abuse and lack of caring from Google.  
Since 2021 numerous street names have been changed in mass in my area 
and numerous towns nearby.

I found this out when a delivery guy called me and said he couldn't find 
my street in Google maps.

So I opened a ticket in Google Maps and had to supply proof of street 
name (pix of street signs showing the correct and valid street name).

Took about 2 weeks and got my street name fixed, but dozens of streets 
around me still have invalid names.

I do not have the time or patience to open a Google Maps ticket for each 
misnamed street name.

These numerous street name renames could only have been done by someone 
internal to Google.

No amount of contacting people inside Google helped.   I have since 
given up and realize that not all aspects of Google are secure.


Regards,

Hank
