Last (quarter) mile navigation to chargers

The navigation to some of the chargers that I’ve visited recently has been a bit questionable in the last mile (or less) in terms of getting close to the point where you can see the chargers let alone get to them. Fortunately for me in the examples below, I’d researched where they were and ignored the instructions.

I appreciate that you are probably at the mercy of where you aggregate data from, and there are 1,000s of chargers. But if ABRP is being used to plan routes and suggesting different chargers it is important to be able to find them!

Tesla, Inverness: These are located in a multi-story car park. The charger location on the map is close, but incorrect (they are actually under the % sign on the second image). The second image shows the actual entrance to the chargers, which are then signposted.

Tesla, Fort William: This takes you to the back of the chargers (on a road), navigating to the correct side of the charger (car park) routes a more sensible way.
