Airstrip has been Designated as Public Road

Solved: Looks like Google finally made the update. Thank you so much for all your help.

Urgent: Google has recently marked the airport in my home town Spanish Lookout, Belize as a public road. And now tourists are driving over the runway when they follow Google Maps directions.

Google has blocked “road editing” in my country Belize. So I can’t correct this terrifying error.

I desperately need to get this fixed.

I am meanwhile working with local authorities to get additional fencing and gates installed.

@KatieMcBroom I posted this on Reddit.

They suggested I should tag some of the Admins to my post.

I am new to “Local Guides Connect” so I am not exactly sure who are the Admins.

So I tagged you maybe you can tag tht appropriate people.

@RonnyPlett

This is very clearly a problem.

Such data issues are better dealt with in the Maps support forum.

Please add links to official documentation supporting that it is an airport/airstrip if you can.

Here is the one source, there are multiple other sources that show that this is a runway.

I have a dangerous google maps mistake to report. In my hometown Spanish Lookout, Belize. Google maps recently changed to airstrip into a public road. And now stranger and tourists who are following their route drive their vehicles right over an active runway.

Sadly Road Mapp3r does not work in Belize so I don’t know how to fix this issue.

I would love to be a Road Mapper because there are so many roads that I would update in my country.

But for now, can someone please help get this airstrip problem solved.
