How do I report a problem on Google Maps?

Why my photos impact which was close to 2.864.306 has become zero too… ??

Same issue on my phone as well. Something went bad on the Google Maps side!

please @AriMar pay attention to this, im facing a trouble.

What do I do when I have reported a problem for an address I am responsible for dozens of times and it doesn’t get fixed? I am tired of lost deliveries and vendors.

(Waze routes correctly, Google Maps doesn’t)

Hi @TS16

If you are referring to a residential address, ask for assistance in the Google Maps help forum, Local Guides Connect is not the place to get Maps’ issues addressed.

Hi @AriMar
I found out that the Zam Zam Hotel & Convention where we held a meet-up on Google Maps was listed as a 3-Star Hotel. After I asked the management, the hotel already got a certificate to be a 4-Star Hotel. And this also happened in several other hotels in my area, like 5-Star Hotel The Shalimar Boutique Hotel Malang which is still listed as a 4 Star Hotel on Google Maps. I can’t edit it because it’s not in the report problem menu.

How to report and fix it?

Hi @br14n ,

Thanks for reaching out!

The business owner or person managing the particular listing, needs to update the information or alternatively reach out to Google My Business Help Center.

hie, can i get an admin, i am trying to mark a store that is open on google map, but closed long ago in real life, i have tried to say its close 3 time already, even with picture, and its refuse, how come ? what is the point to be a high level if whatever we do is checked again and again but still not taken intop account when we transmit a real information ?

Hi @masterac ,

Thank you so much for trying to improve the accuracy of Google Maps in your area.

In regards with you question, could you please send us the Google Maps URL of the place you’re trying to edit or provide us a screenshot?

In the meantime, please try to mark again the place as permanently closed by suggesting an edit. Please keep in mind that if this is a claimed business place on Google Maps, the owners will be able to mark their location as permanently closed.

Please keep in mind that after editing a place it may take time until it gets reviewed. Here you can read more Why my edit status was pending or not applied?

hey @KatyaL

like i said i already try to mark it 3 times, last time i even provided a picture of it i took with my phone and you can see its permanently close, even if its a claim business high level should be able to do some change because its a franchise and if the guy who manage the page was fired or doesnt give a …it will stay open forever and people wont understand why google map say its open or even exist

its a supermarket by the name of " carrefour city"

here is even a pic from streeview from which you can see its close and the name was even removed

i would also like to point out that the option to upload a picture should be updated

when i tried to copy the street view url into the url for the picture to be here on my post
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@48.8464187,2.3787365,3a,56.7y,159.76h,86.36t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1sxhDv_WaMqtkFBi7d6NexEQ!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DxhDv_WaMqtkFBi7d6NexEQ%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D105.631645%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100?hl=fr

it doesnt work

when on street view i click the buton to share the picture or integrate the street view i get another link

https://goo.gl/maps/gfMHJC4JJvk61sWF6

and again it doesnt work

what is the point to have an integrated system within google if link from your own service are not recognise

so in order to get the view i had to do a screen capture, and of course uploading the image, but i can’t because this time a get a size limit with this message

The file carrefour.PNG exceeds the maximum file size of 3072K. Reduce the file size and try again.

the way it work to tell you a problem is a big bother, no one will report stuff if they get blocked like this and take them to write an email with attachement, you should add an option for street view picture, how come it still doesnt existe since this service is starting to be old has time

here is the pic after doing modification to it in paint ( see bottom of message)

and here is the profil for it in maps

https://goo.gl/maps/jhhQrLDcjGgf7KfJ9

please give more right to high level, taking almost 20 minutes in my day to correct something that i can’t correct with my phone in 5 sec is a really big issue, what is the point to be certified, high level or else if we can’t do or job/help

also there is another shop in my street that was replace and need to be close

here is the link to the profil

https://goo.gl/maps/4bD4tBUNjbepKqN39

it was replaced by a shop that already occupied the same space

and also delete this one that also closed more than a year ago ( didn’t even know it had a profil on maps)

thank you

@KatyaL

i tried again to mark has close some business that have been so for years, and some that don’t even exist ( i guess someone thought that he had to put his name in maps)

but again, in less than few minutes my contribution was invalide

some of them even have a “le fichier existe pas” explaination, translation " the file doesn’t existe "…what in the world is that explaination ?

the previous business i suggest you delete, i tried again today, and still nope

here is the list with the profil of the business or people that need to be mark closed or doesnt existe since i can’t do it

https://goo.gl/maps/WULL3XBAdn3RCXH99

https://goo.gl/maps/MZY9yHC7HX1mWGmx6

the next one has no adress, website or info of anykind so i guess its just someone that put up his name

https://goo.gl/maps/MfHcCXQp2yESQNr86

this one doesnt exist in the street and even the website doesnt show an adress in paris so maybe a mistake

@KatyaL i haven’t heard back for the business that are close and i can’t close them

also quick question, do we allow apartment listing on maps ? there are some company and private owner that list apartments for rent, what are we supposed to do about it ? if it’s private ? if it’s business ? its ok ?

i really don’t know what to do so i am asking you, because some of them that i report (past since it seem that like i said i can’t do anything anymore except taking picture and suggesting the business is there and not there ), so to help me out ( and others i’m sure since the line is really blurry ), here is a list of what i find most of the time on map, just tell me if its allowed for each of them

-private owner listing their apartment for rent like airbnb or booking but just in french ?

-private owner listing their apartment for rent like airbnb or booking but in english ?

-private owner listing their apartment for rent like airbnb or booking with a cell phone for the phone ?

-private owner listing their apartment for rent like airbnb or booking with a cell phone and a webpage for it (in french so for french market)?

-private owner listing their apartment for rent like airbnb or booking with a cell phone, and a link to just their airbnb or booking page ?

-company that list multiple apartments for rent like airbnb or booking (with a normal name like "paris appart…)

-company that list apartment for rent like airbnb or booking and website

to help me more here some direct example, so tell me if they should be close or its ok please :

https://goo.gl/maps/pCXm32dohndk3bLJ7

https://goo.gl/maps/r6vsWPLZntx6vT986

the last one doesn’t even have what we call “mention legal” the page is empty, and this is forbidden by french laws

thank you

Hi @masterac ,

Thank you for reaching out and sorry for not being able to reply quicker.

In regards with the places you’re sharing, please keep in mind that all businesses are allowed to be present on Google Maps as a part of the Google My Business platform. The appartments for rent are places that could be reported as private homes, because basically they’re not claimed businesses. Please feel free to report them by suggesting an edit > remove this place > mark as private place or home.

If you require more information related to businesses on Google Maps, please forward your request to the Google My Business help by describing your issue. Thank you.

@KatyaL and what about the business near me that i can’t close ? Why ? I already tried more than few tie and its refuse in 1 second, what is going on ?

شكرا لك @AriMar ولكني اقترح لو ان تمنح النقاط والمزايا مقابل ذلك يكون افضل

Dear sir/ madam,

Last few days I am not able to open my Google map. It’s always shows errors, therefore I am not able to contribute.

Kindly check the issue and let me know.

Thanks,

Sandeep Kumar Mallick

@SandeepMallick what do you mean exactly? The Android app crashing all the time? I have had this a couple of times in the last few weeks. It then was fixed automatically after a few days.

As a workaround, I found that I could just do a Google search for a city name and then click on the search result from Maps to still open the Maps app.

Hi @AriMar , Recently I have marked some private home. A maximum of these was not accepted. But, I surely know that all of these are private homes! What would be the reason?

Hi @Tanvir_Hasan ,

Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing this screenshot to showcase better your inquiry.
