Cannot Add Photos To This Place Already Listed

Hello,

I’m looking for some help please. I visited a local park yesterday which is listed on Google Maps and I’ve got some photos to add to this place, but there’s no option either from searching on Google Maps to ‘add photos’ or I’ve gone into my profile to add photos that way and the ‘post’ button is place grey rather than black so cannot be added this way.

Similary there’s no option on the desktop version via two internet browsers to do so.

Is there a way I can add photos to this place please?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Liz

Hi and Welcome to Connect @LHP2006

While a place may be shown on Google Maps if there is no Write a review or Add a photo option then you should not try to do so. Did you first try to add the park using the Add a missing place option (on desktop right click the park and select the Add a missing place option)? However, I must add that there are certain places of interest on Google Maps where only Google can edit or add photos to. You can send feedback and suggest the changes you’d like to make. On mobile, simply click the Google Maps App menu and Send feedback and on Desktop, select the Edit map option on the main menu and then select the Missing place option!

In the meantime, since you are new to Connect, you might like to have a look at Your guide to Connect. Another good idea is to introduce yourself in the monthly Community Introduce Yourself post.

Keep guiding!

Hi @LHP2006

Is this the park in question:

Victoria Park
https://maps.app.goo.gl/KEPodmx8n6sKqTA1A

I also noticed that this park does not accept photos and reviews.

If you are confused about areas and items on the maps not accepting edits and photos, please enjoy this overview Shapes and Places - Guidance on where to add edits and photos including both flat and photospheres by PaulPavlinovich.

Hi @LHP2006 ,

Welcome to Connect.

Thank you for reaching out. I would advice you to take a look at what @AdamGT and @MortenCopenhagen suggested in their replies.

When you have a question, you can start a new post or search if there is something similar to what you are asking already on Connect. Since your post is not related to the board you wrote on, I relabeled it to how-tos. Also, I recommend you read How to choose a topic for your Connect post before your next post.
