Creating Walk Ways Not On Google Maps

Where I live there’s lots of legal paths and shortcuts between the suburbs and the main town. Google maps is preferring motor travel over walking which is actually quicker. Is there a way to map and submit these paths in some manner

Hi @Phunky

Sure they can be added. I add a lot of such walking/biking paths. If a path is raised above or running in a tunnel under normal roads it is not possible to add them without they auto connect to the existing road.

I just prepared a Manual for Road Editors . Please take a look.

UPDATE: @ErmesT just shared a brilliant trick to add paths over and under existing roads without making unwanted connections. Please see: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Editing-Roads-Tips-and-Tricks-1-Bridges-Underpasses-and/td-p/3723422
