GPS is a mess in some African countries. Google should redraw route I take while my phone location is on and when I stop anywhere it asks me the name of the destination, community members can upvote the area just to confirm and business owners can claim the business so they receive reviews etc.

I edited a location last week (Manicaland Resort) entered the coordinates as they were when I was on that location days earlier. I just gave the place a New name as it was nameless. After finishing my edits I clicked the location to view results and it took me to a town nearby about 20 kms away. This could mislead all people navigating to that location. This is a serious issue as the location has no roads, just foot paths and cattle tracks and people rely on google maps for navigation.
Hello @Sizodideo ,

Furthermore, you can organize meet-up for editing Google Maps.
