Error message when adding POI

Hello @sdl2 ,

The message you are seeing is a notification that Google Maps is not yet able to accept edits in the area.

What I can suggest is leaving your opinion via the feedback option, where you can express your desire to see adding a place in that area:

  • Open Google Maps and make sure you’re signed in.
  • In the top left, click the Menu and select the Send feedback option
  • Choose Your opinions about Maps, follow the instructions and press send

Hello @AfrozaJannat ,

Since we had a previous inquiry about this I am going to merge your post to this one.

Could you provide us with some more details regarding the issue you are experiencing:

  • When did you first experience the issue?
  • Did you use the desktop version of maps or the mobile one (in case you used the mobile version, please specify the version of the app)?
  • Could you please specify the region where you are experiencing these issues?

@sdl2, I would like to encourage you to share the same details as well.

Thank you @MahabubMunna for tagging a Google Moderator and for bringing this to our attention.

I am having the same issue. Up until recently was able to add places to Google Maps no problem. Now if I try to do so through the web I can enter the details but not save it (so that’s pointless) & in the app I can’t even start since the option is no longer there.

I see what Google is saying about expanding the option to other areas but as you said as well, the option was already there for years but now it seems to have been removed for some unknown, unexplained reason. It is quite frustrating if that is the case as Google, when they got rid of MapMaker crippled the ability to keep the local maps up to date. At this point there are several roads that have been reconfigured, added, removed, have errors, etc for decades at this point & there is nothing I or anyone could do about it & now we can’t even add businesses if this is the case.

hello @NABILazeez
hello @GeorgesHR
1st problem -
As dr.nabil mentioned many people in Egypt community is complaining that they can’t add a new place google maps app stuck when you try to put the pin location on map

2nd problem -
we have issues here in Egypt with spammers they took popular places then changed information about it then they verified it so we cannot remove or edit it and dr.nabil will follow with you this issue in details

3rd problem -
i found a verified private home and i know the rules that it shouldn’t be on maps and because its verified we cannot edit it or remove it , and i try remove it as a private place the edit is pending and it will be pending for a long time
this is the link of the place https://goo.gl/maps/5vid3SNcdSz and i am sure that this is a private home
hope that you will take the right actions
Thanks :))
