Wrong business category and no option to edit

Hi,

While checking facts with wrong category of place/business I found this place i.e. Sunkoshi Beach Camp-Sales Office reference link:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/V6KJpUSyi8UbSVLPA which has wrong category i.e. “beach” and so far it is a tour/travel agency which proofs by it’s photos contained inside as well in other fact; there is no any possibility of 'beach" inside crowded city that verify by satellite view/imagery. I tried to report it by feedback option which does not give option to select this business/feature.

So if anyone have good knowledge, kindly share how to edit these type of bad data in Google map which has no edit option? I have enclosed the screenshot to better understanding this problem.

All suggestion and efforts in this regards will be highly welcome and appreciated. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Great discover, @KapilKakshapati

Looks like someone wanted to have fun during the Map Makers age.

The Location appear in Maps like a geographical area, like a park, or a lake, where it is possible to add photos and reviews, but not to make an edit, because it is not a business listing.

There are two ways to try to fix the issue.

  • What we can do, for helping the team, is to report an error on Google Maps, through the “send a feedback” that you will find scrolling down your menu on Google Maps. For more details you can read: Report an error on the map
  • Report the issue writing the same post in the Google Maps Help Community , for them to escalate the issue to the Google Maps team

Normally when we report an issue, we use the label “how this”. You can change the label by yourself simply editing this post

Press the three blue dots on your post then click on “edit”

Edit your post - Why and How To will guide you on the procedure

Hi @KapilKakshapati ,

I would suggest you have a look at the reply by @ErmesT . Since it answers your question, I marked his comment as a solution. You can read more about this in this article.

I relabeled your post to how-tos as it fits better there. When you have a question, you can start a new post or search if there is something similar to what you are asking already on Connect.

@ErmesT tons of thanks for your suggestion. My efforts all went to vein cause by that procedure I could not flag/select that particular business/place to report that issue since it does not display in listing to tap and select the place. I think Google has internal error or kind of bugs. I am enclosing the screenshot for your reference.

Hi @KapilKakshapati

You should use “Your opinino about maps” to send a screenshot and to write an extensive explanation.

On the meantime, think about to write in the Google Maps Help Community , for them to escalate the issue to the Google Maps team
