Well, I'm soon moving to a street Google Maps doesn't display. It's
pretty weird, Maps finds the street by name and shows addresses on it
too but not the road itself and it can't route sensibly to it.

Also weird that while it's a fairly new road but it's been there for
over five years least and there are much newer roads around here that
are already in Maps. So now I wonder how long it's going to take for
Google to fix this since they haven't in the 5+ years so far... I can't
believe no one has reported it before but I guess it's possible.
