I just recently put in a Note for a fix in my local area (not a business, but an incorrectly placed toll road), but looking around the area I see a bunch of other Notes that are months old that don’t seem to have been actioned. So I don’t have a lot of hope that my feedback will be fixed any time soon.
It’s always better to fix yourself if you can. Anonymous notes are not always looked at unless you’ve really put a good explanation. If you just wrote “wrong toll booth location” it’s probably not going to be fixed indeed. You can share your notes link here if you want and maybe somebody will fix it seeing it here.
If you don’t have an account then contributors can’t ask follow up questions either…
Edit: just saw you linked it and it was resolved sorry
Like I said elsewhere, I’ve so far not gotten value out of Organic Maps, and the burden to create an account and learn how to contribute something fairly complicated like this is higher than I’m willing to go to to contribute back to a service that hasn’t even provided me value.

I’d like to think my note had a pretty good explanation. It was fairly specific about the issue and what the resolution should be. As you’ve seen, it did get fixed, thanks to @eatham@aussie.zone. But getting bespoke help by finding it on Lemmy is not exactly ideal, and considering all those other unresolved notes still haven’t been resolved, I don’t have much hope that my note would have been resolved either, had I not linked it in here. That’s…not great, and doesn’t encourage contributors to help out more.
From what I could tell, not without creating an account. And because this is something relatively unusual (not as simple as changing a business’s opening hours or something like that), I’m not even sure I’d be able to figure out how to do it in a reasonable amount of time. I’m not willing to put in the effort to do all that before I’ve ever gotten value from the app (since this was a problem I noticed the first time I ever tried actually navigating anywhere).
Can you link your note here? I might look over the area and do some of the notes. There probably isn’t any mappers ever looking at the area if there’s a bunch of really old notes.

You don’t have to just leave a note, you can fix it yourself

Google and Apple also have account requirements.
Not sure you read what I said, because this reply doesn’t address it.
