Google map is very helpful in finding any place. But people are misusing Google Maps, and such people are adding their names and house on the map. It is really unfair. These people add their house by using categories like school, hospital, or bank. Such places are not useful to anyone, and they misguide people. As local guides, it is our duty to remove such unnecessary places from the map.
My main goal for organizing this meetup is that we all get together to remove unnecessary places from Google Maps so that our community can get accurate information through the map.
Do you also want to join me in this campaign?
Letās make Google Maps Spam Free.
Date: From 21st September to 30th September.
Location: Anywhere in your City.
You can join me in this campaign, even from your city.
@NareshDarji I totally agree. I try to remove bogus listings pretty often. But, there are far too many times my edit is āNOT APPLIEDā because my edit canāt be verified. Often, Iāve done that verification for them by including screenshots of their own Streetview images, website screenshots, etc.
Iād love a blitz to remove all the fake listings but we canāt do it on our own. Google Maps needs to trust their local guides to make appropriate changes or take a more active role.
Hereās a good example. I tried to make two minor changes. I tried to remove the āTba,ā prior to the address. Itās not a properly formatted address with it there. And I attempted to have the main image removed as that is not the location at this physical address (I live minutes away). How can that not be verified by not looking at their own Streetview image for that address?
Awesome post ,I follow Narayan Reiki Satsang Parivar they inaugurated.Every day we do meditation & prayer online but they took a bigger place where any one come do prayers ā¦I saw many putting there selfie So i told them u canāt put selfi .I reported many selfi but the Raji didi photo ,in bhavan i have put & screenshot when I listen online ,still they come every day online.
@NareshDarji great post my friend.
Here in Brazil I have seen some problems like this, in addition to people who are carrying out assessments in an inadequate way, without useful information for the population.
Glad you want to join me too. The venue of the meetup is Gandhinagar. But you can contribute to this meetup even if you are in your city from 21st to 30th. @jakiripsc and @GasparKaren
@MarwanTawansy you and your community doing really good work. Keep doing that.
For everyone interested in removing spam from Google Maps I would like to take this opportunity to recommend all the tools, tips, and tricks presented here.
Most of the tips and methods described under the Local Guides Clean The Map (#LGCTM) project fits perfectly and will be instrumental in reaching the goal of Making Google Maps Spam Free. And they will make it easier to find and remove spammy content.
