Adding new landmark without address

Hello, I am trying to add new landmarks that are off-road with no address for my local area. Currently I am unable to add them in maps because an address is a required field and even if I add a long/lat or mark it with the pin I am unable to proceed. Any ideas?

Salut!

Essaie comme ça,

  1. Met ton point ( comme tu as fait dans tes étapes)

  1. Ajouter un adresse manquant

  1. Bon, pour le nom du lieu. Moi je met un mot de description, ex : si l’endroit est un point pour une randonnée, alors je vais écrire randonnée, ou alors parc,

  1. Choisi la catégorie… si je continue avec mon exemple, je vais choisir, plein air et loisirs.

  1. Et pour finir je choisirai, parc ou sentier de randonnée.

J’espère que cela a peu aider …

sinon je te suggère de te créer une liste privée et d’y rajouter tes points , avec la même manière.

Bonne chance !

Just use the plus code. Then it is possible.

Hi @Stunoperator ,

I see you got a great reply by @MortenCopenhagen .

I just want to let you know that I will change the topic of your post to How-tos to keep Connect organized. This is the place where you can ask questions, share tips and feedback about Connect and the Local Guides program.

I will also accept Morten’s reply as the solution, because it gives the complete answer to your question. For more information, please take a look at the article How do I mark comments as solutions?.

I was able to add the landmark without an address, using the plus code. However, now I am trying to add another location and nothing happens when I hit submit, it doesn’t reject it, it just sits there as if nothing happens. I cleared my cache and was able to add another location separately. I believe it may have something to do with the location - 8587WPJC+5F

Any help would be appreciated.

@MashaPS any help with this? I’ve been able to add several spots with a plus code but not this particular area… any thoughts?

@Stunoperator

Please share the MAPS link to the place.

Some often high traffic areas are temporarily blocked so spammers can not add fake places. That might be what you are looking at.

It’s definitely not a high-traffic area. When adding a new “scenic area” does there need to be some sort of online citation? https://www.google.com/maps/place/8587WPJC%2B5F/@36.9335093,-114.2801754,15.73z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb7bef62dc9a75d3b!8m2!3d36.9304375!4d-114.2788125

@MortenCopenhagen @MashaPS Any ideas on this? I can’t get it to accept. It’s almost like Google needs to see a citation somewhere else online to list it?

@Stunoperator

Kindly always tag who you are “talking to”.

A Maps link normally looks like this: https://goo.gl/maps/pspTGMy4bhPzGSeRA

Please specify the data used to create a pin here.

Is it really a place that is of interest?

What is the proper name of the place?

Is the name mentioned somewhere on the internet? Please share the link.

What category did you suggest?

Do you have a good photo of the place?

Cheers

Morten
