Explain a misleading navigation-app destination

The practice's postal address leads some navigation apps to the back of the building or a neighbouring road. Patients arrive near the site but cannot find the entrance.

What to change

Describe the final approach in text using verified public landmarks and the correct entrance. Explain the mismatch without assuming every mapping service behaves identically.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A practice says its patient entrance is on Market Street, although the postal address names the larger courtyard. The location page gives the entrance description alongside the postal address.

How to check the result

A visitor who arrives at the wrong side of the building can recognise the issue and find the intended approach.

A mistake to avoid

Do not change a postal address to an informal navigation phrase that could create a new mismatch in correspondence or booking records.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
