Wrong photos posted on Google Maps

Is it worth flagging photos posted in the wrong area on Google Maps :thinking:

I’m trying to clean up photos posted in my local area and no matter how often I flag wrong photos they still appear on the map. I noticed a few local guides who post same photos to different sites on the map in my area.

Olá, @SirB

Escrevi um texto abordando esse assunto, clique aqui para mais informações.

Se for uma prática sistemática do perfil postar a mesma foto em vários locais de forma intencionada, pode ser o caso de sinalizar para avaliação do Google como descrito aqui.

Feel free to pm me the Maps links to the profile(s) systematically spamming and I will try escalate them after checking.

I too feel that flagging individual photos does not seem to be effective or reacted upon with a very long delay.

Thanks for the info and at least I know that I’m not the only one having trouble with this issue.

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

Thanks for your message and I now know that I’m not the only one feeling frustrated about this issue. However, I noticed that occasionally some photos are removed after persistent flagging them.

The other issue I find almost silly is bus stops near a certain POI on the map that people posted photos and reviews of the POI and not the bus stop. For example, a bus stop https://maps.app.goo.gl/LWfpLJaV5x368UKF8 near Sydney Olympic Park Archery Centre. I’ve flagged most of them and most have been removed except for one. I guess it works in some cases. I’ll PM you.

Cheers

Just yesterday I added a photo to a busstop next to a train station by accident. I had to delete it and the upload it to the train station pin instead.

All the best

Oi, @SirB

Obrigado por me mencionar.

Você não está sozinho “nesse barco”.

Seria interessante o Google Mapas melhorar isso. E também seria interessante tornar isso "uma função de Local Guide".

Eu também por acidente já postei foto em local errado. Eu queria postar foto de uma estação de VLT e incorretamente anexei a uma estação de metrô. E sempre tenho muito cuidado.

Acredito, opinião pessoal, que muito desses erros não sejam intencionais, mas acidentes quando se envia a foto para um local por sugestão do Google Mapas ou a partir diretamente da Galeria do telefone para um local.

I agree that sometimes it’s accidental post especially when local guides post photos suggested by Google maps.

Thanks again for engaging in this topic.
