Wrong photos of Places

I hope Google and other local guides would to more to help verify data in maps to make it more accurate.

Yes true…I think most errors occur when people have to select a location when aging a place to the map… Sometime the pinned location seem inverted because of wrong sensor calibration of their phones… And they end up selecting wrong points on the map. I think we should personally look into the good sensor calibration stuff as local guides… And it’s better to add locations by standing as close as possible, that’s if possible to help reduce errors

In our country i saw too many local guide they can post wrong & irrelevant photo. They wants to get points but these kind of activities harmful for local guides and Maps.

Thanks, @B_Zubayer . this seems to be a very relational problem I believe moderators of them maps to help to verify and correct some of the reports as soon as they are made.

Very true… Unfortunately… Map accuracy must come first . always…if you don’t know about a place just don’t add or answer… organise a meet up and solve it rather than guess…Let’s all make the maps better B_Zubayer
