Rahul, The easiest thing might be to find your location on Google maps and make a contribution. Google will then review the address and add it there. You might need cited help to pin-point the location on the map to do this. Since Uber uses Google maps, it should show up on Uber alright.
Option 2: let's say you are near by and you need to navigate to your location, you can use the What3Words app. It is a geolocation app that divides the world into 3m x 3m squares, assigning each a unique three-word address for precise location sharing. Users can easily find or share any spot on Earth using these simple word combinations instead of traditional addresses or coordinates. Once you know the words corresponding to your address, you find the place and either navigate on the What3Words app itself, or use the option to navigate through Google maps. The words are then converted to Geo coordinates (latitude and longitude) which Google maps is able to recognise. Years back, I've also used the drop address that is shown on the Uber receipt (one of the lucky days the driver ended the trip at exact location). Not sure if this might work though. Hope this helps, Kunal Thanks, Kunal On Sun, Nov 24, 2024 at 10:17 AM Mission Accessibility < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I moved to a new apartment around two months ago.
