Google maps problem

I have found some duplicate names of places but the letter arrangements in the names are little different (like M8HQ+MV Kathmandu as Arghakhachi Store and M8HQ+MV Kathmandu as Arghakjhanchi Store which is indication of the same place. Reporting this both as same place, google responded “NOT APPLIED”. I think google should have an eye on these kinds of errors.

Hi @Bipin0610 ,

Are you familiar with how we can merge POIs? In my experience it helps to

  • Figure out which one should remain (note the number of reviews)
  • Rename the secondary to reflect the primary precisely
  • Set the category of the secondary to the same as the primary
  • Then you may have to wait for those edits to get approved and synchronized.

Then do the remove, dublicate on the secondary Poi.

If the primary does not show up on the list then abort and try again later.

Cheers

Hi @Bipin0610 ,

Thanks for flagging!

Thanks to @MortenCopenhagen for the quick response, please follow the steps what he has mentioned to merge these POIs.

I’d like to inform you, that I’m moving your post to the How-tos section, as that is the area where we are discussing issues and questions.

@MortenCopenhagen

I can’t add videos from two days

And reviews take long time and some of them take forever ?!

And I don’t get questions even if I traveled to many places and visited many cities ?

Do u have any advises and thank you

@Saddambelouettar
