iOS 10 Maps Directions for Yelp Entries End in Vicinity

Hello,

Ever since updating to iOS 10, I've noticed that directions for destinations that I've search for, and chosen the Yelp entry for, will often end in the vicinity of the destination - "close" to the pin - totally ignoring the fact that it's not actually getting me to the destination's address.

In the below example, directions to "Disneyland's Mickey & Friends Parking Structure" - (1313 S Disneyland Dr, Anahiem, CA 92802), ends on S Walnut St - totally on the other side of the structure entrance.

However, if I give Maps the address (same address as the Yelp entry), and choose the non-Yelp search entry, Maps gets me to the correct destination.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there anything I can do about it? Submit a bug report? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks,

Shawn
