My name is Josh, I’ve been a Local Guide for a couple years now. I just moved into a newly constructed neighborhood. So far I’ve submitted three edits to Maps in an attempt to get my new address added to the map. As of now, it shows that my address is about a mile down the road on a different E Caspian Pl (why this street name was re-used is another question). A couple things to note:
The address is a valid USPS address. All mail and packages come to my home as I would expect.
Maps shows the street name as well as the outlines of the new home that were constructed.
Satellite view shows the new street, but has not been updated to show the new homes yet.
Any ideas on if/how I need to provide more info to get my edits approved would be much appreciated!

@ErmesT That’s incorrect. I’ve gone to my home address (which takes me to the wrong place), selecting “Send feedback”, “Suggest an edit to 12722 E Caspian Pl”, then selecting “Location - marker is placed incorrectly on the map”. From there I reposition the marker to the proper location of my address and submit. I guess Google marks that as “New Address” which is reflected in the screenshots you were referring to. Is there a different way I should be approaching this?
It appears that the new road segment may not yet have address ranges defined. According to the Arapahoe County Assessor’s GIS data, the address ranges for that street segment are 12701-12733 and 12700-12734. I have requested that change. Once updated, that should allow Google maps to properly interpolate your address and position the search result pin near the correct location at the street.
The address ranges for this road segment now appear to be in place. Surprisingly, that did not resolve the problem.
I posted additional feedback for your road segment asking “Why doesn’t a search for “12722 E Caspian Pl, Aurora, CO” resolve to a location on this road segment?” (Posting a question, rather than a solution). Hopefully, someone more enlightened than me will figure it out. ;^ )
@JoshShowalter Searches for addresses on your street are now resolving to the correct road segment. I suspect that it took a day or two for Google’s geo-spatial indexes to pick up the address-range changes.
Unfortunately, it appears that the address-ranges were not properly applied. In my feedback, I specified “from:12701 to:12733 for the left (North) side of the street and from:12700 to:12734 for the right (South) side of the street. That is, 12701 at the NW corner of this block and 12734 at the SE corner”. (Those values come from the Arapahoe County Assessor’s GIS data). The changes were applied with the street numbers increasing from East to West as though this was W Caspian Pl rather than E Caspian Pl, so the “left” and “right” sides of the street are backwards and search results are inaccurate.
@paul_sears Thank you! Even though it doesn’t show the exact house, having it not route a mile away is so much better.
So that I can go submit that final change, how did you go about submitting feedback about the address-range change?
@JoshShowalter . Right-click on your street and click Report a data problem. On the Fix wrong info page, click to select your road segment, click Other, and then type your description.
To reference my last post, which I think is fairly clear, click the ellipsis (…) button at the bottom of the post and click Permalink. You can then copy the URL from your browser’s address bar and paste it into your problem description.
@JoshShowalter . I ended up posting the correction request myself and now (finally) the map pins are positioning correctly. All except for your address, that is. I have submitted a request to move the pin for your address.
@paul_sears Can you help me do the same for my new address? The development has been there nearly 25 years but is not correctly documented. My townhouse address is 15353 Greenhaven Lane #103, Burnsville, MN 55306. Each townhouse has two floors arranged in quads. I don’t know why the builder assigned unit numbers instead of a separate address for each home as is more common here. The Google photos are from 2013.
