Im in the greatest and freest country with no problems at all in the world, America, and our local fedex called me and figured out where I was since i basically have an unfindable property in another unfindable property which is indistinguishable from 7 other neighboring properties. My guess is they did something like this map because now they arrive without issue. Was a pleasant surprise since i thought they would not care and not deliver

Btw you can add your driveway/ access road, building and address on www.openstreetmap.org

But then you have to use OSM

Cool idea, dogshit execution.

There are several Apps using the map data from OSM so you can pick one you like

And every single one I tried has been hot garbage.
