Do you know if there is a way to force Google to update an area from it? I put my road in on openstreetmap and Google appears to have tried to merge them and made a mess.

    A hill I die on is not using Google Maps. I use Openstreetmap on my phone and everything and I'm loving life.

    I want delivery drivers to be able to find me though...

    Are there that many delivery drivers using Google Maps though? I get the feeling they use some other programme in conjunction with their own knowledge of the area. That said, I've met people who've lived in this city for like ten years who still use the wayfinder thing on their phone, and some delivery companies these days really skimp on equipment, so I wonder.

    Have you already used the 'give feedback' button on Google Maps? I think that's the limit of what they offer. I've heard rumour that adding a business at your address makes it much more findable on Google Maps. But that might be adding misleading information. If Google started using OpenStreetMap data (they probably already do) they would have to attribute the data to the project. The big online shop named after a river has their drivers use OSM maps and they will add your driveway to the map etc themselves sometimes. So your additions to OSM will help you get some deliveries more reliably.
