HOW TO ADD LOCAL MISSING ROADS/LANES

Hello everybody, hope you’re doing great.

It’s been long time since I am trying to add some missing road lanes or incomplete lanes in my area and I have tried to add lot of times, but sadly there is no response or approval from Google maps, I would appreciate your worthy comments or suggestions to help me out regarding the same.

I am the only person from my area who started to add all the things to be visible on maps that before some like photos, vedios, places, roads, hospitals etc… but there are still many things to be there but it’s taking time to be visible on maps.

Hi @malik_irfan85

You forgot to mention where you are located.

You may find the following posts from my Easing frustrations series interesting and helpful:

You mentioned hospitals. This is one category that is very hard for local guides to add and edit. It has been like that since the start of the pandemic.

Regarding roads, please read https://support.google.com/maps/answer/10271004

Cheers

Hello @malik_irfan85

In addition to what Morten shared with you,have you tried the new desktop Road editor? I use that for drawing roads.

It works perfectly well for drawing roads. Please have a look at it m,if you haven’t. The approval rate is high if you the roads are well drawn. The only disadvantage is it works only on a desktop.

I think **This post here **might be of help of you can kindly look it up.

Happy guiding

Cheers

Thanks alot sir, for your referrals and suggestions.

Basically I was trying to edit roads at village level in (handwara, j&k - india)

But I think I need to have a look over your referrals first and hope to get things approved (hospital in my area has been approved easily), but I guess :atm: , water oldies like rivers and roads are hard to get approvals)

Thank you once again​:heart::heart:

Thank you for your healthy suggestion, and yeah I will try that out.

It will be more easy if I get a link for the same editor :+1:

Hello @malik_irfan85

You don’t need a special link. Just try editing the roads on a laptop following the same procedures in the posts of referrals.

One more thing,please change the label of this post to "How tos" board it fits better their rather than local stories. Just to keep connect organised as they say. :wink:

Happy guiding

Cheers

Hallo, @malik_irfan85

I see you have received several interesting answers already, but if you are looking to a step by step procedure about the use of the Road Editor for Desktop, this post may help you more.

Another way to add roads in india is through Road Mapper, as India is one of the countries where this program is active. I have personally added more than 1600 Km of roads in your country

Regarding rivers, lakes, or every other feature that is part of the Earth Layer, you cannot add them. Only Google can modify that part of the Map
