What works on Google Maps
Two products fit this, in this order
The unusual-traffic page is a reputation verdict
It reads like a rate-limit message, which sends people off to tune their delays. That is usually the wrong lever. Google flags datacenter ranges across its properties on reputation, so patience on a flagged address buys you nothing while a brisk crawler from a clean one sails past.
Slowing down helps at the margin. Changing the exit type is what actually moves the outcome.
Location data is location-dependent, which sounds obvious and is not
Maps results are shaped by where the request appears to come from, which means the exit country and even the region is part of your query whether you meant it to be or not. A dataset gathered from mixed exits is a dataset with an uncontrolled variable in it.
Pick the geography deliberately and hold it for the run. That single decision does more for data quality than any amount of parsing care afterwards.

FAQ
Google Maps proxy questions, answered
What proxies work for scraping Google Maps?
Rotating residential. They pass the reputation checks that block datacenter ranges across Google properties, which is what triggers the unusual-traffic page.
Why do I keep hitting the unusual-traffic captcha?
It is usually a verdict on your address rather than your speed. Datacenter ranges are flagged on Google properties regardless of how carefully you pace requests.
Does my exit location change Maps results?
Yes. Results are shaped by where the request appears to come from, so mixed exits put an uncontrolled variable into your dataset.
