I don't know about other countries, but that also happens to me with Google Maps in Mexico. I sometimes query a street located in my city and it will send me thousands of kilometers away (even if they do have the street in their DB).

I guess Google Maps calculates the probability a place will be looked for, and of course a small street in a not too big city in Mexico will be less likely to be searched than a popular place in Europe. But common if I wanted to look for something in Europe I'll zoom out and place the map in Europe. If my zoom is in my city I obviously want to look something in MY CITY!

By far the greatest improvement I have ever made to just about all of my machine learning based apps was moving to San Francisco. You’d be surprised how well they all work here.

Whenever I go visit back home in Slovenia my phone loses about 60% of its utility overnight.

I was two blocks from WeWork in downtown San Francisco, which is not a place I know well, entered the exact street address, and Apple Maps sent me two blocks farther away, I had to switch to Google Maps.

This happens to me sometimes when I travel/move. I'll enter a search on Google Maps, and it will sometimes search where my previous settlement was. Like, I'll search for a Best Buy in my current location, but for some reason it will search where I was yesterday.
