to find "Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport". They find the same address and place the pointer in the middle of the grass near the runways. Similar to OSM. They are better than OSRM when it comes to routing. The Route stops in the short term car-park near the entrance and shows yo how to reach on foot the passenger entrance.</div><div><br></div><div>Not enough.</div><div>I checked the address of the aiport for <a href="https://www.milanbergamoairport.it/en/" target="_blank">their web site.</a></div><div>surprise, surprise, it's different:</div><div>Milan Bergamo Airport</div></div></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Via Orio al Serio 49/51<br>24050 Grassobbio (BG) Italia</div></div></blockquote><div>Gmaps finds this and puts the pointer to the same place on the grass in the airfield, put the routing goes to a different point, further away from the drop off parking.</div><div>I could not test this address with OSM, because it was "not recognised".</div><div><br></div><div>(my conclusion follows in a separate mail)<br></div></div></div>
