My home street address is wrong, I have emailed and dropped pins to Google. To no avail. UPS can’t find me, just seems to be issues because of street name.

Hi @Gooftroop650 “Welcome to Connect! If this is your first visit, you’ve come to the right place. This post will serve as a guide for everything you need to know about contributing content and engaging with the Local Guides community on Connect” . This is the first of the information that you will find in “Your guide to Connect” , the introductory Guide of the community. In there you will find all the necessary information to know how to better contribute in here.
Sometimes the pin is in the wrong position because the associated address (street number) is in the wrong position.
The procedure to fix pins and data related to Street name and address is explained here: Fix a missing address or wrong pin location .
If it doesn’t work the second option is to contact the Google Maps Help forum, explaining the issue in detail and providing to them an official Map issued by the Local Autority (it can be the City, or the county, or the public archive) where the correct information are visible.
The third option is to contact your City council, for them to upload directly the correct information in Google Maps. If they have no idea about how to do it, please share with them this link: Maps Content Partners
Maps partner with
- Local, regional, and national authorities
- Municipalities
- Transportation, tourism, and other agencies
- State / National mapping agencies
- Indigenous and Aboriginal authorities
Trust me, this way seems to be the more complex, but it it the faster to have the issue fixed. I know this by personal experience.
Do you have a doubt about how to do something about Maps or Connect?? The Help desk is here for you,with a long list of post with detailed indications on how to post.
Which kind of contents we share in the community? What are Connect topics? will give you an explanation

In addition I want to inform you that Road Mapper, the section of connect where you posted, is reserved to Road Mapper, a mapping feature by invitation to add road in selected countries through challenges. For this reason I am asking @InaS to move your post in How tos, where we ask for help or give tips about the program
