Fix home address location

A friends recently relocated to a new place.

He is having issue getting stuff delivered to his home cause the address pop up in the wrong place in Google Map.

Can’t figure out a way to fix it.

I did something like this in the past when there was another tool to edit google map. Now it seems it’s not possible anymore?

Hi @borninbronx

Actually Local Guides cannot edit elements of the map layer.

What is possible to do is to “send a feedback” to the team, explaining the issue, so that they can fix it.

You can do it both on desktop and mobile. Click on Google Maps menu, and scroll it down until you reach “send a feedback”

Follow the indications for the most appropriate report, and send it.

It will take time,so don’t worry if you don’t receive a quick response

Sorry I didn’t receive a notification of your answer.

It is what I did, send feedback:

  1. marker is incorrect location
  2. drag to correct location

but i never got an answer and the marker is still at the same spot.

I tried again, just in case. Thanks

Hi @borninbronx

As I said, it takes time. We have millions of Local Guides, and this kind of verification are made by human operators.

Some of my feedback has been approved after several months

we used to have another system with community moderator and approval to edit google maps. not sure removing that was a good idea :slight_smile:
