Thanks very informative, because I doing some study about road edits

Reporting about Images, and inappropriate contents, I am already doing it. In my country some important locations photos are very very bad.

@AriMar very useful feature especially in areas that were marked sometime back and a lot has changed. Would be also glad if you could improve on recall an edit. Sometimes when you are adding a new place and you realise the place actually exist under a former name but you already send an edit. It’s not easy to change that information once it goes on pending.

Gracias por esta actualización. El punto que yo encentro para trabajar en ella, es cuando los lugares cierran por reformas. No encuentro opcion aqui para ello, con fecha de reapertura o no. Solo puedo justificar enviando fotos y comentarios. Hace 4 meses que un lugar POI esta cerrado por reformas, sin actividad humana, sus plantas de interior ya están secas, tiene el aspecto de abandonado. Yo había presionado la opción de quitar el lugar pero con los comentarios pertinentes al caso. Mi edición no se aplico por suerte, no era mi intención. El punto ahora es como resolver esto. No veo otra opción que editar los horarios del lugar y borrarlos todos. Supongo que de esta forma se volverá a la verificación de datos. Deseo que de esta forma funcione al los cierres por reformas. Mis saludos.

Haii @AriMar

kalau didepan perumahan saya ada terjadi error pada google maps, seharusnya dua jalan tetapi yang ada di maps hanya satu jalan jadi agak membingungkan jika saya memesan makanan online untuk sampai dirumah saya, bagaimana caranya agar yang satu jalan tersebut bisa saya pecah jadi dua jalan :pray::pray: Terima Kasih

Nice sharing @AriMar , It is easy to follow these steps. But, after the initial steps, I feel that the process of adding or editing selected roads should more user friendly. Thanks

Thanks for your post @AriMar . There are so many photos incorrect on places on Google Maps. I have reported many over the years of photos people have posted that have absolutely nothing to do with the place.

What annoys me is that after reporting several places, we are prompted to answer a question, and the more reporting that is done, the more questions asked. I end up giving up as the continual answering of question just wastes my time.

True @TheEagleEye , @AriMar i have also gone through such markups which I have asked and reported as closed place but not applied in google maps , now the place for which questions are being asked does not exist how to answer it??? Also I am the only person who have either changed e name or added new place at the same location as older or closed down … trust that if someone doing his act remotely not being at he location would take a bit time to get reflection in maps but if the correction is done along with photos while physically being there, the edits should be applied faster and such non existent question pop up should be avoided

@AriMar Thank you for sharing this but there are some countries like Tanzania where I am from - where the option of reporting a missing road or incorrect road closed is not available. How do we address that?

Thanks.
