Apple Maps keeps confusing California St. and California Ave. in San Francisco. One is in downtown SF and the other is in Treasure Island, a part of the city surrounded on all sides by water only accessible via the Bay Bridge.
This isn't an Apple Maps specific problem. Last weekend I opened a full address in Uber (uses Google maps) and it directed me to 13 st rather than 13 ave, about 5km away from where I wanted to be.
Several other people at my final destination reported the same problem, though they'd all caught it and fixed the destination manually.
What do you mean by "confusing"? They have different names. If you select "California St" you get California St, and if you select "California Ave" you get California Ave.
For me the issue is my own home address. I own an iphone and verified it. Typing out my direction: Address, City, State, Zip Code will direct you to an address in the neighboring city with a similar looking address(address number is wrong and Ave is Street). I give people a neighboring address close to me that I know works if they own an iphone. Apple Maps has also gotten me lost or stuck in terrible traffic. I really hate Apple Maps.
That's remarkably bizarre. Typing out a full structured address should always be parsed correctly.
Have you reported this to Apple? The Apple Maps apps (iPhone and macOS) have a means by which you can report a variety of issues, including incorrect search results. In my experience Apple tends to be pretty good about handling these.
That is because 94130 is the ZIP code for Treasure Island. You've got the wrong address mate!
California St is at 94104
Please don't blame Apple Maps for user error
You're searching for "California St, San Francisco, CA 94130" and Apple seems to parse this from right to left. California Ave happens to be the closest match to "California St" in ZIP code 94130 and apparently is a stronger signal than "California St, San Francisco, CA !94130 but actually 94104"
