I tested your road on the google maps app on my iphone by typing in 深圳市春风路 and google maps took me right there without any problems. Strange.

I find Google maps to be very accurate in big cities of China and it's especially helpful when deciding whether to walk or take the subway in Beijing since distances can be so great in the capital city.
