Hello @zidan90 welcome to the Local Guides Connect community!
Although @MarcoDavoli has much more experience with road edits than I do, I’d like to add a couple of tips:
- Always start at a road, which already exists on Google Maps. Never attempt to add a road which starts and ends in “nowhere” (according to existing Maps)
- Start with extremely short pieces. Once accepted, you can add a new piece starting at the point, where the first ended.
- When trees are covering the road, first add a piece ending exactly where the trees start. After that was approved, add a new piece crossing the trees.
- Don’t provide a name, when adding a new part. You can do so later, after approval.
- Keeping the above in mind, add as many pieces as possible. It seems, the more road edits are done in certain are, the more likely , they are approved.
- Don’t give up too soon - it needs time.
I am currently trying to add walking trails to a park. After nothing worked for a long time, suddenly the approvals keep coming one, two or three daily. Whenever a piece is approved, I add a new little piece to that, but there are still more than 30 edits pending, some of them possibly not accepted without me being aware of.
The orange dots show the pending edits, the white are approved, many of those by myself:
