Hooray! Apple finally fixed the listing for Walmart in my town. Ever since Apple Maps was first released they showed 2 Walmarts: the correct one... and the address of some old factory. I don't even know how Apple got that other wrong address. There's no document in the world that ever had a Walmart listed at that other address.
I've experienced exactly the same Walmart location error in 2 separate states- Florida and South Carolina. Both times, Maps took us to empty fields. Even now, try a search like "Walmart Lake Worth, Florida" and then switch it to Satt mode. Zoom in. The Maps pin is pointing in an alligator-infested canal- dead center. If you went right to where that pin is located, you'd drown or be eaten. There is a Walmart not far from there but Google puts it's pin right in the store. Maybe Apple has something against Walmarts?
I think Maps is generally OK (as in, generally, what you're looking for is within a half mile of where the pin is dropped, though sometimes it's right on… but sometimes it's a complete miss by miles), but if there is anything critical, I find it best to double check with Google Maps.
