Unable to add new roads to Google Maps

In the June Newsletter there was a title “An easier path to update roads” and it went on to explain “Draw new or missing roads on Maps”. My map editing menu is not the same as what was shown in the tutorial. It does not have the “Missing Road” option. How can this be resolved? It is very frustrating.

Hi @tony_b

This feature is still rolling out, you can read more about here (There is also a short video)

If you have an Android device, you just have to follow the instructions listed in Add a missing road to the map

Yes I have an Android phone, and here’s the error I get on there:

I have had this issue a couple of times now and I use only an Android phone as I do not have a home computer. My edit is still pending however I’m always looking for new ways to make it happen. Thanks for the input!

Hello @tony_b ,

Were you able to add it?

No @deepakjhic . Adding roads is still restricted here.

Sad to hear that @tony_b .

Let me know if there is any specific road you’re talking about.

If the list is big then I’ll see your post under the maps section in support forum.

No. I’ve given up on that @deepakjhic

If Google thinks some parts of the world are not important enough, there’s no point in me getting stressed about it.

@LaloPadilla @4CharleneWard @deepakjhic I somehow re-discovered this old 2021 thread of mine. Confirming that the ability to

map my own country became possible sometime in 2023 and I’m now actively using the feature in 2024.

I don’t know if Connect has a way to lock a thread, but the issue is resolved.

Hello @tony_b ,

Thank you for letting us know.
