Here Map inaccurate location problem

[Ramazan Bilgin]

Hello , i am a wp user for 4 months. When i need to find my way to somewhere or try to find a place i've used here map. But it always makes me upset. Fır example when i try to find the much closer post office to me it always shows to me one 10 blocks away. Today i was searching western union and it said i need to go 10 blocks ahead but there is one just on next left. And the here map always wants me to calibrate it. I think i will not use it anymore. Is there any recommadation ?? I live ny.

have you tried to update offline maps , to do so go to phone settings->swipe right to applications ->maps->check maps for updates :smile:

It's already updated.

It's possible that those locations simply aren't in the maps database. Give the built in Maps (not Here Maps) a shot, see if those places show.
On a side note, if you know where something is, why would you need a map to get to it?

You do it to see how good the map/navigation is. If you set it to navigate to somewhere you don't know you wouldn't know if it was sending you on the best way.

Let me answer your question. It is because even though i dont know there is one near me i could see on my way. Then it makes me tı think why my phone didnt show me that one. I know there are lots of post office in nyc but it always show me further ones. I know there should be one closer.
