So, Amazon is tired of paying USPS/Fedex/whoever to deliver things and has formed their "Amazon Logistics" department.

They use Bing maps. Bing maps tells the driver to use a closed bridge to get to my house. So, my package is days late. The last "attempt" had them mark my house inaccessible from an entire town away.

@kurtm sounds like more Silicon Valley (yes i know Amazon is in Seattle) “we know better” hubris. Oh wait, these problems are actually hard?!?

@david @kurtm out of curiosity, can you try routing to your house using OpenStreetMaps?

If it doesn't work, please edit the map :)

@thinkMoult @kurtm Hah, funny you should ask; I am an OSM contributor; and have a full planet (albeit sans history), on my local server.. so.. yeah, my house routes 😀

@thinkMoult @david It.. is not right. it took several attempts to even pull up my address, because it won't pull me up via my mailing address. My mailing adddress is slightly different than the town I'm in. (It's a common thing in this area, I think the town's shifted borders and the post office said "That's nice kid, whatever").

I have no idea how I would change the bridge to being out right now. I see no indication of it being so in OSM.
