Same. They've been down here on street view.

Same. They've been down here on street view.

Same. Have used notify google maps as above 3 times in past year but they’ve still not changed it.
Street view is the root of the problem as they have incorrectly put main road down as a private one and ours as the main road.

Worst is all the couriers using it as through road for deliveries.

Same here, I'm sure if we were in the US there would be a lawsuit in the making.

We have a holiday home in Cyprus - it's incorrectly marked on G Maps - I've tried "suggest an edit" regularly over the last few years and often get a 'thank you' reply, but then nothing!

They must use AI to mark some of these tracks, we used a headland as access to a block of land for 8 months then ploughed it up. Keep getting disgruntled cyclists wombling about now as google have the route marked as a track. Get sorted out next yr when it’s in osr.

I got the private farm track removed some years ago after writing to Google.

I pointed out that they had been trespassing, and that the evidence of their trespass was plain to see...

It was removed within a couple of months...

A few years ago it was noted that vans were having a jolly around the hill getting to certain places.
It came to a head when within a matter of weeks we had lorries trying the same, when holding an event on another part of farm, and then a fully laden tanker tried to cross and subsequently buckled a hill bridge.
Sent them pictures never got a reply but it does not seem to happen anymore so maybe something changed.
Some of our public roads are not fit for HGV twists and width. Ever seen a winch lorry get winched out by another winch lorry, or tanker and drag try and negotiate a very tight 90 degree bridge (they don't).

Might be Google maps directions, or caused by one of the two ( I think?) companies that provide mapping to the Garmin and TomToms of this world.

Incrreasingly seeing road signs warning of unsuitable roads... not that this will stop some idiots!!

I’ve had quite a bit of success getting Google to edit their maps. Next door farm was mis-spelt and they changed that. The location of a chalet park [they call it a ‘holiday village’ or ‘holiday estate’] was out by a mile and on a smallholding’s yard and they changed that. It took maybe a month from my editing suggestion to be enacted.

I went around the Parish when I was Chair of the local Council and added road/street names to most of the routes on Google Maps. In one case, a great wind up against the local incoming Nimby's who really hated the old name of the small county road past their pseudo mansions. Back Lane it is...... and always was!!

So, If I can get Duck and SR to speak to Google, maybe our Cyprus house will get put right on the map???
I've tried with my four gmail accounts without success

I would like to thank @Cowabunga and @steveR for the above, because google have now accepted my alteration (after about 3 years of asking!!!)
