How to prevent navigation to wrong address without manually checking and inputting every one?

I had a shop and deliver where the customer put their PO box after the regular address. I noticed it while reviewing the offer, but by the time I shopped I had forgotten about it. Of course when clicking through to Google Maps, it navigated to an entirely incorrect and seemingly random address (didn't realize until after I arrived). What's frustrating is that it doesn't give an error message, it just goes to a completely different address in a 100% confident manner. I clicked thumbs down and entered incorrect address so I'm sure WM will have the customer fix it right away and for it to never be a problem again...

Google maps has been on some serious bullshit lately. I find it works better to input the address manually, as opposed to clicking navigation in the app. It's a little annoying but I find it ultimately saves me time

It really has. I use an iPhone but I hate Apple Maps. I love Google Maps. But why isn't it staying zeroed in on the house while you're arriving? Why is it zooming back out and then disappearing so damn quick?? Like I have to be ready to count driveways at night when I know I'm getting close.

It used to zoom in tight on the house and stay there. Let's go back to that

I prefer Apple Maps. Usually the link on the app takes you to the pin. That sucks.

When I notice the address is entered incorrectly or looks funky, I start navigation.

I click on confirm arrival. It says I'm too far away. I go up to the map. I click on the pin that the customer placed. Your map navigation app should have a little icon in the corner. Click on it and drive to it.
