Hi James......tnx for the thoughts.....as im on my way to Auckland N.Z

a help

You don't have to live with that... go to www.openstreetmap.org, and
add your street to the map.
When I got into OSM, my locality of 80,000 people was only a few
roads... I added in all of the local roads over the course of about a
month.

Your area (if I'm in the right area) has some pretty good satellite
imagery (except for a bit of cloud cover), but needs a bit of work on
some roads, and needs a few more added. It doesn't take much to add
the roads in yourself.
