Google maps still can rely upon local knowledge with house numbers, and it is quite possible a 3rd party has placed those.
TBH anything on Google maps IMO can be less reliable than OSM as they don’t require as much proof a lot of the time.
I’ve numbered a whole housing estate before without Google batting an eye.
this is what i was wondering with the 2 numbers on the property linking to different streets, but didn’t know if it would be possible. would someone set up a fake location to make a home little free library eligible to be a wayspot? i had the weirdest results trying to search this. the two addresses on the same property are 16 peterson circle and 28 groton drive, which is not an adjacent road. so it seems like something is fishy here. but i am out of my league trying to investigate this.
i had started to include all the real estate listings and so forth that i had found, but then decided that might be too much personal information.
You’ve not ever seen the “parks” or “reserves” with a single review stating their ties back to William the conqueror which coincides with a waypoint in review? 
Lots of people do it, and it’s vandalism at its finest.
From my experiences with numbering, inactive numbers are hidden and placed on the cross street until searched for and location edited. If it’s on a block, it’s done by a person either by accident or not.
Agreed AND coupled with the complete lack of sidewalk for public access, I’m still baffled by the decision. Most objects get rejected for safety reasons if there isn’t the ability to walk up to it. Can people walk on a street that’s not too busy? Sure, but does Scopely want to encourage it? Doubtful.
there are lots of properties with 2 numbers when i was looking.
example, i was trying to find 28 groton and looked here
this appears to me to be a whole other abuse level that would be impossible if the rule were that “it’s ineligible if listed as a single family residential property”
When in doubt, gov or edu records - from the looks of it 16 is correct numbering.
That looks more like ineptitude - the only other random splatter of numbers like that happens in locations which follows the age of buildings on the street (places in Hong Kong come to mind), or areas which have been renumbered by the state/authority body.
i have no idea how to get into the government records, which is why i didn’t raise any of these issues earlier. and have no idea what i am looking at with what you pulled up.
Its cadastral information for New Hampshire, each dot tells you the info, and has the addresses for each parcel.
Not really a Wayfarer problem, just more a highlight of updates have been made without a verifiable source leading to this confusion.
Google is great for how ‘alive’ it can be, but the payoff is that it is also easily manipulated either correctly or incorrectly.
