I has issues with the GPS to my location

[Augustus13]

Has any one in this group are having the same problems?

Yes! We're in the same boat. We have written out specific directions to our place from all points, and emphasized that GPS is mostly worthless out here, in the mountains. It gives incorrect commands all the time. Our solution has been "manual override."

Hi @Augustus13 

Yes...unlike @Kitty-and-Creek0, have had the same problem only due to the fact the property was in a new subdivision and the address was not yet in Google, not because the property was in a remote, rural location.

We also send specific instructions to guests and warned them that they couldn't rely on their vehicle GPS. In the mean time, we sent a request to add the address to Google Maps and they corrected it within  a few days. There is a tiny feedback button on GoogleMaps to send them a feedback. Not sure if this would help in a remote location though:

@Augustus13 We use what3words to help guests find our place. She guests have found it invaluable

I found a solution what I used was the numbers that shows the location instead of the address and it works fine without any issue.

Great! So you used the latitude and longitude numbers?
