Error message when adding POI

Hi @Atsukot

Thank you for your announcement .

I would like to report a situation on Egypt maps .

1- Since first of January we could not add new places to the maps by the regular method

Screenshot will explain

When drop a pin you could not see add missing place icon as usual .

So you try to add the place by using add missing place icon from the menu

But when I use update location on the maps to put the pin in the correct location as usual .

This screenshot appear below

So we can’t add new poi .

This also reported by many friends from other countries not Egypt only .

2- today 13 o’clock Egypt time all my edits goes pending reviews , no one edit applied .

Screenshot of pending below.

Normally all edits accepted immediately as I made a lot every day and no one goes pending .

Below screenshot of applied edits before 13.00 o’clock

You can see the huge difference .

This also reported from many friends from countries rather than Egypt .

So what is going on and what you advice us to do .

Sorry for this long report and I hope this issue solved soon .

Best regards from Egypt local guides team .

In my locality there are many roads missing from Google Map. Some roads are even not in the exact place. But when i try to add a new road, i just cannot do it. I am getting a message like that.

Thank you for reaching out.

As you receive in the information message, there are some area that Google is unable to accept road edits. We are working to expand editing to as many places as possible.

Hi everyone, I have been recently dealing with an issue where I’m unable to add missing places. When I drop pins, it doesn’t give me the option, and even if I use the drop down feature, it gives me an error (which may be due to my location being Guyana, South America). I attached screenshots to give some more context. If anyone can help, it would be highly appreciated.

I’m Faceing a similar situation… Description bellow:

So i work with 360° photos, and there are always business that i work with that aren’t registered on google maps nor google search bar, so i suggest them and create them with the " Send FeedBack" Option, and about 1 months ago when i wasn’t a trusted street viewer yet all my suggestions were published and apeared in less then 10 minutes, after i recieved an email of google saying they were published of course, but now i can still publish any place, and i still do recieve the email telling me i sucessfully published the local business, but the only what to see that business is via the link i’m sent thru the email, and any one can see that link and look up the business with my 360° photos, but the catchy thing is, when i search for an instance the business’s name, it won’t apear what so ever… Could anyone please help me, because many of my customers are becoming frustrated with my services thinking i’m a froud and since i do this for a living, i’m in risk of losing my what so job… (There are many business that already existe and i only publish the photos, But about 10% i have to send a feed back to create them.), As an exemple, the picture above of a store in 360° follows the link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/S%C3%B3+Divino+Far%C3%B3is/@-16.6695356,-49.2783836,17z/data=!4m11!1m5!8m4!1e2!2s112433887871800952201!3m1!1e1!3m4!1s0x935ef3ec384b594f:0xcfeb5a699707f302!8m2!3d-16.669475!4d-49.2785099 , but when i search it by the name it shows all of it’s competitors, but doesn’t show them.

Hi @AngieYC

The thing is that I used to be able to add missing places up until recently so idk if there is some other issue.

Hello @PunGodOfTheSouth ,

As what I mentioned before and according to the message you received, it is because there are some places that Google is unable to make edits. We hope, we can expand our edits regions wider as soon as possible.

Dear Google,

When the Map Making Program going on in Bangladesh, at that time I added many roads in the Khilgaon area of ​​Dhaka district to Google Maps, but why are not these roads showing in my profile now?

Hello @ShamimAhmed ,

Thank you for pointing out at a valuable corner.

I was also wandering why is it. Because i also had added few roads in Map Maker.

However, once i read here in some post or comment by a beloved “Connect Moderator”, which i couldn’t find or recall the name of the Moderator. It was like that, in our Local Guide profile there is a new feature called Roads and Google is working hard to make it available very recent. Therefore, probably, this Road feature and Map Maker’s Road feature aren’t same or if they are same, Google might emerge them both and could add it to our profile very soon.

If i am wrong here anyone can help us. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Shahnewaz

Please activate a road creaCrea tool for Goole local guides, it will be very helpful, because feedback report doesn’t work. There are many roads which are not mapped in West Bengal, India.
