One day, I was driving to Mormoria when I saw a very nice mosque on the way. It had three big domes on top, and looked very old and special.
I had only been to this place once, and as the place was amazing and I often add things to Google Maps, I wanted to share some pictures with others. But when I tried to add the photos, I was surprised to find that this mosque, called the 3 Gombuj Jame Mosjid, was not on the map at all! Since I had only been there one time, it was hard for me to find the missing place by just looking at the map.
To add the mosque to the map, I had to look at the area very closely using Google’s street view. It took some work, but I wanted to make sure this hidden place was no longer missing from Google Maps. It felt like a fun challenge to discover a “missing place.”
Using the Google Maps street view, I was able to find the exact location of the mosque. I added all the details I could, including the name “3 Gombuj Jame Mosjid” and descriptions of the mosque’s unique features.
When I finally submitted the information, I felt so happy! It was like winning a game. By adding this hidden gem to the map, I knew I was helping people who might be searching for a mosque in that area.
I always enjoy adding things to Google Maps. It’s not just about uploading photos - it’s about making the map more complete and useful for everyone. Finding a new place and adding it to the map is such a rewarding feeling.
Here’s how to add a missing place on Google Maps using your phone:
-
Open the Google Maps app on your phone.
-
Locate the area where the missing place is situated. You can zoom in or out to find the exact location.
-
Once you’ve found the spot, tap and hold on the screen for a few seconds. A red pin will appear on the map indicating the chosen location.
-
A small card or menu will pop up at the bottom of your screen. Look for the option that says “Add a missing place” and tap on it.
-
This will open a window where you can enter details about the place. Here’s what you’ll typically need to fill out:
-
Place name: Be clear and concise about the name.
-
Category: Choose the category that best describes the place (e.g., restaurant, park, library).
-
Additional information (optional): You can add details like phone number, website address, and opening hours.
-
To make your submission more convincing, you can also attach a photo of the place.
-
Once you’ve filled out all the necessary information, review everything for accuracy. When you’re sure it’s correct, tap the “Submit” button.
-
Google will review your submission for verification. You might receive an email notification about the status of your request.
By following these steps, you can contribute to keeping Google Maps updated and help others discover new places.
