Incorrect location ported to Magic Earth #12

I use GMaps WV extensively to find POIs. I have Magic Earth to automatically open when I click the Share link in GMaps, but many times the wrong location in Magic Earth appears and I end up driving to the wrong location. This happens with approximately 10-20% of the locations I want to navigate to.

This seems to be caused by the longitude / latitude coordinates not being properly ported to Magic Earth.

For an example: Costco Wholesale at 6675 Marie Curie Dr in Elkridge, MD 21075. Compare the actual location on GMaps with where it opens up in Magic Earth. It is not even close.

However, if I manually enter into Magic Earth the exact street address listed in GMaps, as expected it is always accurate in routing me.

Question: When pressing the share button in GMaps, would it be possible to have it map to the actual street address rather than the GPS coordinates in Magic Earth (and other map apps)? Or as another option, make it so that long-pressing the street address in GMaps would automatically copy it to the clipboard where it could be manually pasted into Magic Earth?
