On mobile, you can now find these new headings: Featured lists, City guides and Popular areas nearby (Android only) on Google Maps.

Some lists seem to be provided by Google while others are compiled by select local guides.

The Popular areas nearby seem to reflect districts in a city. The texts and naming of some of these districts are clearly in need of some editing.

I wonder how we can provide feedback on these so it will reach the relevant editors and those who edit and select lists to be featured.

Providing standard feedback on the map has so far not proven effective - not even on obvious errors.

Hoping for some clarification and some recommended steps on how to reach the relevant googlers.

Cheers

@MortenCopenhagen I have been seeing this for quite a while. What you said about feedback is somehting I also want to know. Some lists seem poor and inappropriate which should be replaced.

Luckily one of my lists has been featured in the first place everywhere in Bhutan!

Hi @SaifIS

Thanks for your reply. Can I ask you how that featured list works for you? Does Google make a static / approved copy or are you still able to make edits and see them implemented on the featured list?

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

Are you asking about the list I have mentioned here? If yes, Google doesn’t make a static / approved copy or I can still able to make edits and see them implemented on the featured list. I just made a small change and checked it.
