place descriptions on google maps

Hi @SJvdMerwe

Adding a link sometimes may help to give a faster answer.

In any case, I think you are referring to this street: Albert St

As you said, the address is displayed as Bridgebank - Cape Town 7130, South Africa

The reason why this happen is displayed in the next screenshot. If you make a search in Google Maps for Cape Town District , you will see that Somerset is included in Cape Town district

According to City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality (CPT) Google Maps seems to show the correct information, however, if the information is wrong, you should submit a link to an official (governative) map to the Google Maps Help Community, to escalate the issue to the Google Maps Team

As your post is not an Idea, I am Tagging a Google Moderator ( @BorrisS ) to move this post in the How Tos section of Connect. Use this section to ask questions or share tips for Local Guides who want to make more helpful contributions.

In this section, Idea Exchange" we post our ideas for the improvements of the program and of Google Maps. For more information please read: How do I use the Idea Exchange and what happens to my ideas?
