Help with Address, Route, and Map Problems in GPS Devices and Apps

GPS only gives you the blue dot.

It does not provide the map!

Frustrated by missing/wrong locations and directions in GPS devices and apps?

The problem is in the mapping software used by the devices/apps. That software comes from the private sector (e.g., Google, Apple), not from the GPS satellites.

GPS satellites are simply beacons, like lighthouses, that a device uses to calculate its own latitude and longitude. The satellites do not transmit any mapping information.

The U.S. government cannot correct mapping errors in consumer devices/apps, but the following links will help you report them to the responsible parties.
