hello! How do you edit building labels like the above. In this case the label is completely incorrect, it’s not called that.
also how do you add new ones?
thank you!

Hi @themax
What do you see when you click on the name? Or even better, please include the Maps link.
You may find the answer in my post called:

Hiya!
The maps link is https://maps.app.goo.gl/HpTRekKrzEHy7m6U9 (It’s slightly too the right of the pin but you may need to zoom in to see it). Clicking the name just shows the usual maps info page for the address when it has no other details about it
Hi @themax
It would be very helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply. Just hitting Reply does not ensure we get notified by email.
Thanks I found it. I was unable to click on the name (I could not open it).
You asked if/how we can edit such names. The answer is: We can’t.
In some countries they use building names rather then house numbers in addressees. But that is not the case here as we can not open it. Addresses can be opened and we can add a POI to an address.
So I guess that this is just a geographical feature on the base map where also green polygons, rail tracks, building outlines exist. All map elements that are not points of interests. Hence not editable for us.
If you know the name is wrong, you can seek help with this in the Maps support forum.
Hit the Community tab at the top and make a post. You need to attach or link to official documentation supporting the change you are proposing. Copyright-free governmental maps are probably the best proof you can attach.
Without such official documentation, you will not be successful.

Hi @themax
Lawrence House appears in Maps like a building (a container of businesses)
On a building you have limited options of editing
Fix an address: You may be able to suggest a different position for the pin
Your opinion about Maps: It will give you the possibility to choose some option and to explain what is wrong
And of course, as mentioned by @MortenCopenhagen , you can report it in the Maps support forum, providing some official documentation
