How do I select multiple road fragments into one so that I name it ?

Hi All,

I have 2 questions actually:

  1. How do I select multiple roads as I need to merge them and name it, it is a 16 Kilometer stretch, and what I can see now has 20 fragments atleast. Google maps used to be nice to deal with this kind of problems, but now it isn’t. I can see a check box that states select multiple roads, that doesn’t leaving me anywhere near to what I want.

  2. I have recently attempted to name few roads , and I can see them approved, but with a different name that is not a relevant one. I’ve tried to rename again, and it approves fine, but again with same different name. What could possibly be the reason, you’re trying to name a road meaning, but gets approved the same thread with not meaningful road names successfully?

thanks

Hi @anishmbait

Thanks so much for your interesting questions and for trying to make the information on Google Maps as accurate as possible.

As you probably know already, it’s not currently possible to select all segments for an unnamed road. It used to be possible to select multiple segments, but the system has been changed and only one segment can be selected at a time. There is an option to select the entire road, but that only works for named roads. For more information, check out these provided answers.

I believe, you’re already familiar with the options to report incorrectly drawn roads and also incorrect road names.

The best way to receive a detailed answer of similar questions from an expert, is to reach out to the Google Maps community.
