Both links show the completely separate object as Casemate VII from other geo but which is located nearby. I have tried changing map modes but with no result. It seems that the Google maps agent focuses attention on the name but not on the geo-position and confuses similar names.
The picture in the email message indicates the correct geo-position:
I had a similar problem @nikant25 and the best that I could do was to Follow these Steps to send feedback to the Google Maps Engineers. I think it’s best not to dwell on it. Don’t waste time or become frustrated, just moved on and keep guiding.
Thanks for your reply messages. You may not be aware about tagging, so please let me explain. When you leave a message or reply to someone it’s a good idea that you properly tag them so that they will get a notification of your message otherwise they may never know about or see your message. To tag someone, first type @ then type the first few characters of their name until you see their name in the dropdown list. Finally, select the person’s name. You will see that I tagged you at the start of this message to you. Many think that this is done automatically when you reply to someone but it is not.
This is interesting because for each message there is a separate Replay button that makes you think that the user is responding to the selected message. Such a UX is simply misleading.
Yes @nikant25 and that is why I mentioned that many think that tagging is done automatically when you reply to someone but it is not. You might for example be replying to someone higher up in the thread/discussion or you might want to reply to more than one person mentioned in earlier messages in the thread/discussion. Anyway, well done as you now have the hang of it
The “Google Maps Agent” is most probably an algorithm, @nikant25 , and it is quite unlikely that, after approving the two places, Maps algorithm decided to merge them and change the name. More likely, after your edit was approved, some other Local Guide suggested a change, and merged them.
The area in interesting, so I wanted to check it more in detail.
What surprises me a lot is the lack of photos in your edits, and the great confusion in the area itself, so I would like to try to understand better.
Some question for you:
Are the fortifications and casemates in the area all part of the museum, or are they visited separately? According to the museum’s website, they are all part of the museum, and the guided tour includes all the casemates. therefore, why add POIs? According to what I can see in Street view, the place added by you seems to closed with fences inside a separate area. Who manage the gate? The museum, or someone else?
Some additional observation of the area - Not related to your edit, but please consider it as a sugggestion about what a Local guide can do to make maps helpful
The parking lot of the museum is categorized as “museum” too, this is confusing, and should be fixed
Another casemate in the area is classified as a sculpture
Another point is defined as a monument, but it has no category and the reviews are about food (in a monument?) so it probably refer to something else and is probably a duplicate
As I don’t have your experience of the area, I cannot say for sure if the merge of your two POIs was correct or not, but as a Maps user I am trying to address you giving some tip for improving the area. Most of the time it means adding information, more than creating new POIs
