Google Maps tips & tricks

I am a local guide from Saudi Arabia I used to enjoy it but now!!!

What’s the point of being a Google Local Guide when you can’t add or edit?

Hi @JustNasser

You have successfully added 120 places so you clearly know how to do it.

I’m unsure if your problem is one affecting everyone in your country or it could be that the system is not “trusting” your edits.

A quick glance at your photo contributions hints that it could be your contributions. Please delete photos uploaded to Unknown place. Also, photos that you did not take your self must go. Duplicates and near-duplicates should also be removed.

Hopefully others from your county will share their experiences so we can know ii it is a problem affecting everyone in your area.

Cheers

Morten

Hello @MortenCopenhagen

The last Place I successfully added was in March 2020 and after this date I did not succeed in adding any place at all.

All additions are rejected!!! Sometimes I can only make simple modifications
And another important thing is I cannot add street or road or edit it, and I think those in Saudi Arabia suffer from this thing And we don’t know the reasons

I will follow your hints regarding the photos ,

THANK YOU

Hello @MortenCopenhagen

Could you do me a favor and add street to google maps around my house because I am really in a big problem, a lot of public services I do not use

Hi @JustNasser

As much as I would love to help you, it would be against the guidelines. You may remember that we should only add and change things that we have personally witnessed. So I would be breaking the rules, and I would also be risking my hard earned Trustscore.

I have never visited you. An invitation would be nice :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: . I haven’t even visited your country yet.

So I’m sorry I can not do it for you.

Looking at the satellite image there are clearly roads missing in the area.

I suggest you draw the missing roads on a my map. Find official maps showing the missing roads and their names, and then make a post about it in

The Maps support forum.

Hopefully one of the experts there will help you out.

Cheers
Morten
