Why do Doordash orders to trailer / RV parks rarely ever have their map pins pointing to the correct RV / trailer? (Crossposted to several subreddits.)

Seems that much of the time, the map pins point to a random spot of a trailer / RV park when I try to find my customer's place.

So instead of going to the exact structure / vehicle where the customer lives with the pin's help, the pin just leads me to the trailer / RV court itself and I have to pay attention to the lot numbers displayed out front of each trailer / RV (and not all of them display those lot numbers!) and also message the customer to ask for the color of their trailer or the color and make of their RV, and the color, make and model of the vehicle parked in front of it so I can have an easier time finding them.

So why can't trailer & RV parks have the pins pointing to the exact place where the customer lives instead, just like ordinary single-family homes with foundations?

Weird, where I'm at doordash brings you right to the customer in the trailer parks. every other app brings you to the front of the trailer park. Except spark it wanted me to drive all the way back out to the main highway and drop their stuff in the woods 3 miles from their home. Thank God she had a pin account and gave me the PIN otherwise I'd have had to submit a picture of nothing.

GPS often reports I'm .. not quite where I really am. That could be a problem for your customer. At home, my phone thinks I'm in Maryland. I'm not. I'm in Colorado.

Some people have lived in these parks their whole lives and don't know their address beyond 'the third one past the Buick on concrete blocks'.

Pro tip: Take a picture of the park map up front, or get one from the office. When I was delivering, but not working, I'd stop at apt complexes / trailer parks and get their maps.

Some trailer parks in this area, have actual named streets so instead of "2300 CR 38 E # 216", it'd be more like "216 Apple Drive" or something. These showed up on google maps.
