Regarding your last question, the only way to add pathways that are not completely visible from the satellite is the one I mentioned in my first reply to your post: “The County can submit the change through the Maps Content Partners . Changes submitted in this way are applied in a very short time”.
I know this very well because I submitted already some pathway on behalf of a public admin (a post about this subject is under preparation right now).
The county was so happy that they presented the result to the journalists. The article is in Italian, but I think you can use Google Translator to read it: Bolognola senza segreti col GPS
Hi Ermes, I need a map marker/pin-drop moved 100 meters, and the name changed a little. The name is currently “Mile Marker Stone #4”. The title is almost correct but just needs a “3” at the end. The correct title should be “Mile Marker Stone #43”. I have tried many times to move or correct the title, but never gets approved.
This trail mile marker is in the wrong spot and has an incorrect title.
I didn’t expect anyone to do anything for me. I had & still have no expectations. This is my first time here on Local Guides Connect.
I am not sure how to answer your question as this is getting really confusing to me. It is much easier just to talk to someone. The hundreds of delayed texting back and forths that most people do nowadays can often make things more confusing, at least that is my opinion. Instead of having one conversation at a time we are having 10-20 delayed conversations at a time. It is sometimes hard to remember where were are at in the conversation.
I wasn’t coming here to get a specific problem fixed per say, I was posting so that I could learn how to do something specific and I could apply that knowledge to many situations.
Basically, I wasn’t coming here to be handed a fish, I came here so that I could learn how to fish. I used a specific example so that it might make more sense to someone that was willing to help me. But in the end, I wan’t to be able to apply the skill I would hopefully learn here and apply it to many situations and fix a lot of stuff. I am thinking long term, not short term. Did I post my two questions in the wrong area? Should I have posted my questions in a different area?
Sorry, I thought you needed specific help on a problem.
Using the Maps support forum is not relevant unless you need help getting a concert problem fixed.
So the relevant lesson is that some edits are not possible for Local Guides to do. Google is not very upfront on what is possible and what is not possible.
Hi Ermes, how or who do I ask to remove a section of road? My local park just removed a couple hundred meters of road and I would like to reflect that on the map. Now the road has two dead ends.
The answer is “The State park itself”. As I mentioned previously about " add pathways that are not completely visible from the satellite … The County can submit the change through the Maps Content Partners ." The same can be done by a park.
Of course you can probably short the road by dragging the end of the road over the previous point, and repeating the operation till you reach the actual shape, but this kind of edits is normally not applied at the moment.
In any case a road with both dead ends could not be considered “a road”, because it is not reachable
Our state park is a high labor time and low chance of getting it corrected. I spent an hour on the phone trying to contact our county about getting a street corrected per your advice and got nowhere. They didn’t have a clue what I was talking about and weren’t sure what department I should even speak to. Perhaps maybe the U.S. is different than Italy!? Maybe Italy is more organized, but typically if you have to deal with government in the U.S. it is going to be long, hard, and slow.
It is Woodside Drive that had a section of it’s middle removed. Is there Google staff I can send this to, to get fixed.
Use this pindrop to get close to the road. On satellite view, you will see where they removed a center section of the road.
