How does Address Validation differ from other Google Maps Platform APIs (e.g. Autocomplete or Geocoding)?
Address Validation provides information to determine whether a given address exists and can be used for account sign-up, checkout, or delivery. By comparison, Autocomplete is a type ahead solution that helps with speeding up address entry, but in prioritizing the user’s entry experience doesn’t guarantee validity of the addresses. Address Validation can be used afterwards to catch incorrect or missing components, like subpremises (e.g. apt #), to improve the delivery experience.
While Geocoding converts addresses to geographic coordinates or the reverse, Address Validation provides confirmation level per component, allowing you to provide feedback to your users on how to correct an invalid address.
Geocoding API focuses on identifying a real-world location based on a given input, but in doing so may identify a location that is different than the input address or omit certain parts of the input address. Address Validation focuses on the input address and providing feedback on all parts of it, including confirmation level per component.

What is USPS CASS Certified?
Google maps has my address on the completely wrong side of town. I have no idea why or how but because of this issue my deliveries aren't making it to my house.
I was able to add my address to the correct coordinates but it was added as a second option. The old, incorrect location is still on google maps and is the default option. I've tried several times to change that pin to 1 NOT A STREET or something like that but no luck. And of course google has no customer service number to call for maps
What do I do to get this fixed?
