there is a fake place nearby my area on Google map (in reality no such place is exist) “Rakesh Kumar Nagar Adhyaksh Karyalay” this is the name on Google map in hospital category
The meaning of this name is “Office of City president”
As you can understand name meaning so whenever in my area search for a nearby hospital on Google map it appears so the problem is 1st: there is no such place exist not even office of city president on this place
2nd is it’s in hospital category.
3rd this place is showing on road between road on map. The main issue is it’s misleading people who search for hospital
So before 15 days i edited this place as not exist on Google and Google did not accept it!
Then after few days i edited it as office it again rejected
After few days i again edit it as spam and misleading it again rejected
Then before 1 week i again edited it as spam misleading and it’s under in Google review condition
It’s a serious issue for the people who search a hospital in nearby area Google should immediately remove it or someone should request to Google to remove this fake place in hospital category
Sir i did it read my question carefully where i wrote after 15 days i edited it as “not exist”
But same happened!
So what should i do now?
It’s serious issue
Let me tell you one more thing i have seen few cases of someone has added anything under hospital category even it’s spam but Google don’t remove the place easily
It would be really helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply.
@MortenCopenhagen sir i have posted many cases in Google maps help forum but it seems nowdays nobody is available to ans or resolve. more than 10 issues i have posted i did not get any ans till now you are senior here i request you to suggest these problems to Google map team and tell them how these types of many problems we local guide are facing in india and no one is available to resolve or fix it
I request to @ErmesT sir we Indian local guides are facing so many problems can you raise our issues to Google map team because it disappoints and demotivates us sometimes it feels i should stop contributing to Google map
Removing an hospital, or even edit it, is quite difficult. Hospitals are, like banks and ATMs, a kind of protected category in Maps, due to several attempts to create fake places in the past.
Unfortunately, if the fake place was already in Maps it will be quite impossible to remove it with an edit.
I think you should report it, as already suggested by Morten, on the Google Maps Help Community
Sir no one helps or answers in Google maps help forum nowadays
And as you said it’s almost imposible to edit or rename a hospital but as i told i have seen many spam fake hospital and because of that people who search for hospital gets confused it’s misleading and harmful too.
I request you raise this issue to Google map team i know many spam places in hospital category and when i tried to report it as spam it never accepted
Pls do something if you can raise these issues to Google map team
We cannot raise issue, or request modifications, if we don’t have a personal knowledge of the place, @Manojktiwari . This is one of the basic rules of the Local guides program.
