I am from peshawarr, Pakistan. Today I was contributing to Google maps, meanwhile in my search I came through the name of a street in USA, naming Peshawar St San Antonio, TX, USA. I wish to visit this street, if it really exist there. Or at least I want to know if the search is valid or not. It needs edit i n case of non existence.

I believe either location is wrong or the street view image. Actual name is W Military Drive from the image

That’s an interesting query @ComradeShah
Incidentally, I could locate a property listing along with phone number as in the screenshot below. Though I have masked the phone numbers for the reasons of privacy, you can still find that and verify with any of the persons or organisations in the list.

@C_T I can’t understand. Do you mean this street exist there by the same name or not?

Hello @ComradeShah
As you are aware, I am not from San Antonio.
Whatever learning I am presenting here is based on the web search and is likely to be flawed.
In a satellite view, you will find a short length street bearing the name mentioned by you.
BTW, I found following more places which have such queer names.
1 Karachi St West Bloomfield Township, MI 48322 the USA
2 Delhi St Houston, TX 77022 the USA
3 Calcutta St Newark, NJ 07114 the USA
Is it essential to protect the IPR for using such names?

Hi @ComradeShah ,
Thanks for checking with the community! : ]
In case of any doubts on Google Maps, do feel free to send feedback on the matter.
Also, a good practice is to check via Street View on the location itself, as @Bharathi_Raja_MDU and @C_T kindly shared. (however it is possible that it may not cover all the locations, at times)
I just wanted to add that I have removed the photo from the reply of C_T, should that help with any personal information to be kept hidden. (much appreciated for checking on your end!)
For the post itself, the post would be changed into the category of How-tos, should it be more suitable with the main subject.

Thank you @sonnyNg
I have started adding to Google maps and clean up it. But I want to say that it takes a lot of time to get the edits published.
Many a time I come across through double entries of a single business. Then we have to go through 3 steps edits. Frst we have to send feedback to make both the entries name same, then we have to send feedback to report them duplicate. And finally if the label doesn’t coincide with the name on the storefront, then we have to send a feedback once for edit.

Hi @ComradeShah ,
Your endeavor to have information checked and striving for correction is much appreciated! : ]
It is indeed possible to have a bit lengthier procedure to verify the flagged information, please make sure to let it work out on that end, should it require a bit more patience.
In case there is anything specific, do feel free to mention a Moderator on that inquiry.
