You can actually do this with Google maps too. It can take time for them to actually make changes though

    We had this same problem and did just this. 3 years later still no changes. Until my dad happened to be complaining about it at a party and was introduced to a friend of a friend that worked at Google with the maps team. Was finally fixed a week later. So yea a path exists but 3 years is a long time to wait for a simple fix.

    I swear they use the Maps Contributor ratings to determine how quickly they make changes.

    I've not had any issues getting changes made in a timely manner when I suggest them because I've left a bunch of reviews and photos for places I've visited.

    If you never leave reviews or photos, they probably don't trust your suggestions. That's just my guess though.

    A few months ago I reported a missing section of road where I'm from and they corrected it in like a couple of weeks. Maybe it depends on how many people reports the same thing? IDK
