Correcting Geographic Names

Can someone please tell me how to communicate to Google that some names used for geographical locations in my area are incorrect and need to be updated. These are not businesses they are islands and other mainland locations that are incorrectly spelled.

Hello @Jud_Canada

I suggest you use the menu option “Send feedback”, and then use the sub-option “Your opinion about Maps”.
Here, you can include the screenshot and explain the required correction.

Hi @Jud_Canada

Towns, roads and squares are elements of the Map Layer. Local Guides cannot edit that layer. Only Google Maps team can.

What we can do, as correctly indicated by @C_T , for helping the team, is to report an error on Google Maps, through the “send a feedback” that you will find scrolling down your menu on Google Maps.

For more details about the function you can read: Report an error on the map
