This is a very rare occasion. In the real hiking community, nobody uses Google maps
You don't need to be part of a real community to know this. Google Maps is good to check opening hours and how many reviews an establishment deleted, not for actually getting anywhere.
Yeah their maps are pretty shit, often missing paths. I use comaps which is offline open street maps, generally better but can still be lacking. Ordnance survey maps are the best and it isn't even close.
Nothing is ever perfect and the quality also depends how active the OSM community is. In general Komoot is the common person's way to access OSM data.
