How to update old Google map of my city!?

Hi,

My name is Ibraheem and I live in Iraq. I have been living in a city called An-Najaf since 1986 and I know lots about it. When I want to add some missing places, I hardly find where their location on Google map that is because Google maps has not updated Iraq map since a long time ago! In fact, this map which you can see today probably had captured between 2003 to 2005. There are so many areas, roads, new building, schools, universities and so on, which I can not add because they are now in the middle of the desert! Yes, believe it or not till this moment we are using old map to dedicate new places and add them by guessing the right location on the map and you can imagine how are hard it is (New Quarters in this area) . I hope through you (Local Guides) that Google try to update all Iraq map to a new one which fits with our ambitions.

Best Regards to you all,

Hi @IbraheemAl-Luaibi I don’t know how Google decide which areas to map. I would suggest sending feedback via the Maps App reporting a data problem and ask them to look into it. I will be interested to see how that plays out.

@PaulPavlinovich Thank you for your reply but unfortunately Google Maps did not take any actions about our feedback! I have been sending so many feedback about so many things since along time ago but nothing has changed yet!

Hi @IbraheemAl-Luaibi you need to be patient, there are about 75,000,000 Local Guides. If only 1% of them send feedback that is still a lot of material to get through for the Googlers.
