How can i add my house location on map?

Hello. Well i have scene many of friends got their houses correctly pointed on map so that we can search and navigate to them or book deliveries and vab services to them. For example, one of my friend’s house number is 497 in street15 in secter i10. Now his location appears on map with name “497 street15 i10” and we can easily search on google map and any application which is using map’s API.
how can I add my own house as such location? Because it will help allot for many digital services like ride booking and delivery.

Hello @abdullah5490

The first proper thing to say is welcome to connect. It’s a place for all local guides to feel at home and interact.

Please kindly follow these steps;

Android: which I presume most of us use.

  1. Search for the street or tap and hold on the street name
  2. Tap the search result at the bottom
  3. Tap Report a problem on [road name]
  4. Tap Wrong address
  5. Move the map to the location of the house, then tap Next
  6. Enter the house number before the street name in the street address field
  7. Check the other fields
  8. Tap the send icon in the top right to submit

Otherwise, I’ll refer to to the link of the Original post. Hopefully you’ll find this useful.

Cheers

Hi @abdullah5490

Here is the complete procedure from the Google Maps Help page: Fix a missing address or wrong pin location

In there you will find the whole procedure for Desktop, Android and iOS

@SholaIB

The post shared by you is a bit old and the process may have changed in the meantime. For this reason, my advice is to share the link to the Google Maps help page.
As procedures may change from time to time, the link to the Help page will always lead to updated procedures, and in this ways the LGs will also learn how to use the Help Page in the future :wink:

Hello again. Thanks for help article that seams to be useful. But before trying it, here is another problem!

I am a visually impaired person so can’t move the pin on that screen visually. Is there any way through i can use the GPS coordinates (lat/long) or plus code of entrance of my house to set the pin on that screen? I can use this info to add a public place, but how can I do so while adding my own address? There is also no option of “use my location” which could be useable if I try to add address while standing at the entrance of the house.
any suggestion/idea?

Thank you for your help and current procedure. I need to learn to use that then instead of the old one.

Now @abdullah5490 I don’t know about the vision issue. I suppose Ernest will advice on that as well. Thanks

Regards

Whats the address I will help you

I’m sorry, @abdullah5490 , but it seems that the only way to fix it is to position the pin in the correct position in the Map (Visual process)

But I definitely agree with you that this is a weird limitation, and Maps team should work on this to improve it.

For this reason I suggest you to write an idea in Idea Exchange, for submitting this proposal to use coordinates or a Plus code to set the position of the pin.

I am also tagging here @DeniGu to check if I am missing some procedure for fixing the pin for a visually impaired Local Guide.

Thanks a lot for highlighting this point.

Please tag me in your Idea. I will be happy to support it.

Ok. I have created an idea, and mentioned you as well. Please do something in this regards, as it is very important for accessibility of google’s product for everyone.
