I am not a Google employee. Why should I work to fix their product? I prefer to help potentially thousands of people by helping a non-profit like openstreemaps

> Is your desire to hurt Google so strong that you are not willing to help potentially thousands of people?

Not the same person: my time is limited, so I volunteer to fix data only when it is released on open license allowing me and others to use it.

Otherwise I expect to be paid.

In general, I need more than "it will help others" to spend time on something, I am already spending too much time on things like this.

If Google wants to have good updated user-contributed data for free, I hear there's a great open source map they can use ;)

I'm pretty sure you aren't even allowed to report an error to google without creating a privacy-invading account...
