I made a mistake in suggest an edit while contributing

Hi everyone.

I made a big mistake. I edited the location of a mini cafe because I thought it was just not accurate. My edit was approved which later on I realized that the location I edited was a branch of that certain mini cafe I edited. Now I tried again to put the original address of the mini cafe. My edit got approved but it retained the address of the branch, not the original. I wanted to create that new place(the branch) but for sure google wont recognize it because they might get confused of the address.

I am really sorry for this mistake I made Google. I am heartily concerned. I hope anyone could help me to solve this.

Hi Ms. @MashaPS ,

Just now when I checked it, it became okay when I searched it via google chrome but in the google map, still not correct. Here is the link via google chrome,

Hi Ms. @MashaPS ,

I checked it after I replied to you, it is now okay. Thank you so much.

Hi @Do_ME_YOUnique ,

Obviously, you have good intentions but you have nothing to worry about. Changes takes at least 24 hours to get effected on Google Maps Application. Hold on a little more.

In the meantime, you can carry on with your Local Guide duty.

Kudos!

Hi @IfeanyiKOH ,

It is okay now. I just got worried because the mistake I made surely affected the accuracy of my place. That mini cafe is being visited by many here in my community and so I am so glad that the Google team has attended my concern with urgency.

Thanks for cheering Sir!

Hi @Do_ME_YOUnique ,

I just wanted to let you know that I removed the accepted solution from my previous reply as it doesn’t answer the question from your post or doesn’t solve the issue you had.

I think i did the same :disappointed:

I edited some info about Provinciaal Domein Den Blakken which is open to the public as it says on Google Maps that it is permanently closed. I now receive an email that my edit was: place is private. My editing was open to the public. It is open to the public but the restrant is closed due the Covid-19 :disappointed:
