I too am very curious what specifically gets screwed up. Is GPS suggesting the right address but the wrong zip code or something?

If I type my address into web forms that autocomplete, they turn the address into a GPS coord, then find the zipcode of that point, which gives the wrong result. the apartment is physically in the "wrong" zipcode compared to the front door facing the "right" zipcode

  Ugh that sucks! And an app probably doesn’t even have a practical way to fix that. That needs to be fixed at the geocoding database level
