Road/Address Edit unavailable in our region, Nepal

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

I am a level 6 Local Guide on Google Maps, Road Mapper and an active Google Maps Community Forum reporter residing in Kathmandu, Nepal. As a user experience of Google Maps, I can face so many road errors, missing roads and missing address which is creating difficulties navigating through roads.

Being a Road Mapper, I am able to add roads where there are not but the image tiles are only the ones that are sent by Google Maps team not the one that I want edited or added. To add so, Add or fix a road feature is not available in our region and for necessary edits, I have to post in Ask the Community - Google Maps for necessary edits to be done and it takes very long process to have the problem solved.

I, along with many Nepali Local Guides and Road Mappers are ready to edit the road/address correctly if the road/address edit feature is released in our region. So, to be released, I want to know what can be done from our end and what is the reason behind the delay of releasing such golden feature.

Regards,
Tahshee

Hello @Tahshee

It is possible that for reasons best known to Google that feature is not available in your region yet. Of recent there has been a post on the road mapper forum that has addressed an Issue like this. I was following the post closely and might just be similar to your case here.

Would you mind looking it up. Road-Mapper-restricted-in-Rwanda .

If you don’t find your answers in there, perhaps some of the moderators or a more experienced local guide will reply later on.

Cheers
