Hello @Shedy_map

Thank you for your question and the efforts to want to improve the maps. I love drawing roads too.

When it comes to adding or drawing roads on the maps, we haven’t the opportunity to add a photo to our edits. All you can do is add enough correct information after drawing the road. Wonder have you seen this post Add a missing road to the map

It will be of interest,kindly go through. You can find more information on this by reading this post Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”? .

One last thing is that when the roads are drawn correctly, it is verified either by a local operator or by an automated system or even both. Perhaps you’ll get more explanations on this later. That’s as far as my own experience goes for drawing roads on the maps.

Cheers

Hi @Shedy_map

You posted your question in the roadmapper section.

Google is currently testing a new website that makes it easier to add roads. You can read about the Roadmapper program here. Please note it is by invitation only so you can not get the app without an invitation. Also, it is only being tested in a few selected countries.

I believe you have not been using Roadmapper. Am I correct? Eighter way we can not add photos when suggesting new roads. Also, photos should never be added to roads.

Cheers

Morten

@Shedy_map , @_s_oi

as explained by @MortenCopenhagen there is no way to associate a photo (either flat or 360°) with a road, other than creating a blue line in Street View.

However, it is not possible to create a Street View Blue Line in non existing road. In conclusion, a road cannot be confirmed by a street view photo

@Shedy_map , the edit of roads are verified by an algorithm and confirmed by an operator, based on what is clearly visible in satellite mode.

In addition normally a road is not accepted if it is not part of a network of roads (at least one side should be connected to an already existing road).

Adding road and fixing road names are two different process. While the first one is managed as explained above, the second one most of the times needs an "official documentation to be verified.

You should submit an “official” cartography to the Google Maps help community for them to raise the issue to the team. A photo, even if geo-tagged, will not be accepted as an evidence.

This said, as this thread do doesn’t belong to the “Road Mapper” section of Connect, I am asking @InaS to move it on How Tos

Hi @_s_oi

I don’t know how long to wait. And I don’t even know if they are currently letting more people in.

@Shedy_map

It would be really helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply.

We can not see whom you are thanking. :joy: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Cheers

Morten
