Hi. Of course it should be best to use google forums, but it seems like that forum can find a solution.

I live in an apartment building. One person in the same building has registered his business in google maps, and each time I check my timeline in google maps, to see if google has tracked my trip, his name appears at the location where I live. I can "overlap" his name with my name one day, but thats only for that day. If I check the timeline the day after, his name apears on the location again

Here are some examples how it looks

In the left upper corner , google tells me that I have been to my neighbour, which is annoying. That happens almost each time I check my posiition histori if Im in my home town

My neighbours and my adress are not 100% identical, but google chooses my neighbour adress because his business is registrated at his apartment which is close to my apartment. Can this be avoided?
