Default Weird situation with Google Maps and Waze.

I have two properties that are about 1.2 miles apart. My house is at 6635 XYZ road and my shop is at 7300 XYZ road.(XYZ is not the actual name of the road)

My brother came to visit a couple months ago, and said that they had put my home address into G maps on his Wife's phone and instead of taking them to my house, it directed them to my shop.

He tried G maps on his phone and it showed correct directions to my house.

He then tried Waze for directions to my house and Waze directed him to my shop instead.

He came back this weekend and the same thing happened again.

I have tried G maps on my Android phone and sometimes it directs me to my house and sometimes to my shop.

I am not surprised that G maps or Waze occasionally take people the wrong location, but I am totally confused that they direct people to MY other address, not just the general area, but it actually tells you to turn into the driveway to my shop.

Also weird that G maps on different phones(they both have Iphones) in the same car, at the same time, show different directions.

Has anyone ever encountered or heard about this type of situation?

Any suggestions on how I might get G maps, Waze, and potentially other Map Apps to provide the correct directions?

Thanks, Joel
