Not sure it's related, but recently I tried to ask Google maps to find a way to a train station, and it confidently set the destination to the exit of a nearby highway. Yes, I double checked that I was using driving navigation, and it expected me to stop the car in the middle of the traffic.

And I have no idea what to do about this.

P.S. I never had good experience with reporting errors. Sometimes they are rejected despite absolutely being correct, or they end up having no effect at all.

I've had this happen to me too. I would drive there, and while still on the highway Google says I've arrived. I don't stop the car in the middle of the traffic for obvious common sense reasons, I just switch to reading the signs nearby to get to the train station or the airport. When I grew up there wasn't turn-by-turn navigation at all, so I still treat it as merely an aid and not gospel.

The correct way to report errors to Google is to publicly blog about it until it reaches the HN front page and some Google insider sees it.
