I've seen a similar problem with Google Maps navigation. Several times recently instead of being directed to a particular store in a strip mall, I'm directed to a residential street a block behind the strip mall and told I've arrived.

Not sure why you got downvoted. Perhaps some Google devs can't take the heat.

Try the use Apple maps from time to time and always go back to Google. Plus Google keeps adding and improving while Apple maps barely changes.

I think they have a problem with the location database. For instance, the location of my home, according to GMaps, is not on my street but on the parallel one. They have probably tried to do some smart optimization and f*d up. The only issue is that there's no clear way to tell them they have made a mistake...
