Joe's service and gage smog check.

On Aug, 2025, google correct this error. Gage smoke check was removed Aug, 2025.
joe's service is on correct building Aug, 2025.
This is Aug 2025, google street view, it shows smog check is closed. Joe's service is open.

Step 5.
ESRI's POI Aug 2025 show Joe's service correctly, no smog check, which is correct.
Step 6.
Microsoft POI show joe's service on the other side of street, which is obviously off. Until Aug 2025, they did not correct this error.
Also no smog check shows, which is correct, since Aug, smog is closed.
Step 7.
how often google update POI is also a moving target.
