Add roads

Google Maps tips & tricks

Welcome to all of you.

I’m a local guide, but I can’t add any road to the map of Oman.

There’s an alarm that doesn’t support this area.

Hi @Alwanees89 ,

When you get that warning it is a clear sign that local authorities have asked Google not to allow local guides to make such changes.

It also happens that Google block user generated content to fight spam. This it s normally limited to a smaller area and/or a few categories.

I’m afraid there is not much you can do. Wait and try again. Or you could make some tests to figure out how widespread the block is. But please don’t generate wrong data.

Cheers

On the maps of Oman, I can’t keep the streets and their names.

Because I’m doing as much as I can to make Google Maps up-to-date.

Hi @Alwanees89 ,

If you expect to be able to suggest edits to road names please understand that none of us Local Guides can do that. Only way forward is to submit feedback on the select road and hope Google staff will make the edit for you.

Hi @Alwanees89 ,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! : ]

For the moment, the solution would be as @MortenCopenhagen kindly mentioned, by sending feedback of any irregularities of the information that can be found on Google Maps of the region. (Should there be any further inquiry, please do not hesitate to let a Moderator know)

I just wanted to let you also, that the current post would be relocated to How-tos, (should that be more appropriate for the main subject).

Please keep in mind that, idea exchange is a place on Connect for Local Guides to share their feedback and ideas with our team to tell us about a way to improve the Local Guides program.

To learn more about the Idea Exchange, you can read the article How do I use the Idea Exchange?
