Google Maps tips & tricks

Someone defaced the Nîmes–Alès–Camargue–Cévennes Airport to advertise a taxi company: https://www.google.com/maps/place/SUD+VTC/@43.7657782,4.4042706,15z/data=!4m8!1m2!3m1!2sSUD+VTC!3m4!1s0x12b5c8fe28abe071:0x91a556ce8d97b003!8m2!3d43.7629876!4d4.4256878

They managed to change everything: name, phone, website, category…

What should I do? I reversed the edits but I hardly imagine someone accepting my edits, as now it looks like I am trying to deface the taxi company…

PS: Here’s how I know that the airport was defaced by an edit:

  1. I posted a picture of the airport that is now showing on my profile as a picture of that “SUD VTC” company

  2. Until 2 weeks ago (when the airport was defaced probably) all the reviews were about the airport, the security checkpoints, etc.

  3. The airport does not exist on the map anymore

@RonanBoiteau I will suggest you do the below.

Use the Send Feedback in the menu in Maps

Navigate to the location in Maps > Menu > Send Feedback > Your opinion about Maps > Include screenshot and write as detailed feedback as possible

Just tagging a Google moderator to see if we can get more help. @KlaudiyaG

Hi @RonanBoiteau ,

Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. The procedure that my fellow moderator @StephenAbraham shared with you is the best way to flag this to the appropriate team, who after receiving your feedback will investigate this case internally and will take any necessary action. If you find that something on the map isn’t right, feel free to report it the same way.

Thank you @StephenAbraham for the tag. Please note that I have accepted your post as a solution. :slight_smile:
