Hello,
It seems that Google Maps engineers want to surprise us every few weeks. After changing the category selection interface to a better one and notification tab in the app, now we’re able to select multiple road segments while reporting some fixes.
Previously in Map Maker, we had lots of road editing tools but after the closure of that program, and after some changes of the system, we missed multiple segments selecting tools and had only able to select one segment of the road for editing which was really sparse to edit the roads.
But now Google brings back one another needed tool to our lovely Google Maps and we’re able to add other segments of a road or even select an entire road. This feature was the request of many users and even expressed as an idea by @aaraca .
Using this new feature is so simple, just we should use “Send Feedback” in the menu (Tapping profile photo), and then select “Add or fix a road” then we should select a reason for editing and on the next page after selecting one segment, we’re able to add or remove the selected segments.
I say thanks and I hope engineers prepare even more tools for editing the road which is the request of many users. And we see more updated maps of the areas by more approvements of the accurate road reports.
Although this feature needs some improvements (for example ability to add roads with different names because maybe there are mistakes in naming) But it seems the Google Maps engineers prepared a solution for selecting multiple segments while it is also working fine with other new features of Google Maps.
Note: This feature tested on the Google Maps Android beta app and it seems that is still unstable so if you can’t see, just try in the next days/weeks.
Thanks, Google
