How to contact Google (maps)

How do I get in touch with Google maps to report a duff route?

Did a little trip last week and it looked ok on the map, but the lane it was trying to send me down was a Bridal Path! If I was driving a John Deer then it would have been ok. But I was in my humble Mondeo...

    Did you pass many weddings?

    If the bridleway is a byway, it will show on maps as a road.

    Try TomTom website instead:

    http://routes.tomtom.com

    Much better free service and with Traffic as well.

    No, as it was in the middle of a housing estate. But having said that, a lady I was chatting to down there did say they had a truck stuck down there a few weeks ago. And a bin lorry.

    Ha, well done Harv... The week before Christmas (ho !!!!in ho...) I took our firms Merc Crafter into Meadow Hell and it was only when you get to the bottom of the car park access that it states 'max height 2.2 metres....'.
