Hello localguides,
in my city (Stuttgart) there is a common road which everyone drives like this:
However on Google Maps the route get recommend with a +5 minute extra way like this:
The above screenshot only works because there is a “route-change” marker added (see red arrow).
This is the route from Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/47JUVSfQDfnCGVr57
This should be the route (here with the route point added): https://maps.app.goo.gl/uswuKHBFViXXcRFy5
How can I contribute to Google Maps that the route gets correct?
Best regards,
Lars.

Hi Lars. @MaxFlieger
I suggest you provide feedback about the incorrect navigation step using a desktop computer.
This link will explain how to do so.
Cue up directions so the faulty step will show up.
Then select Send feedback which is found at the bottom of the map (not the left panel).
Then click on the flag next to the faulty navigation step.
Then select Problem type. Here you can add some notes.
Use the notes to explain in apparent detail what the problem is. Please specify the exact GPS coordinates where relevant. Also, include deep links to Google Streetview if applicable. The more clear details, the better.
It can take 2-3 weeks before changes show on the map. Google will not notify you about the result. Just check the map once a week or so.
All the best
Morten

Hi Morten,
thanks for your detailed description. I did it.
FYI: Google says that they will inform me about the changes. Let’s see if it’s true 
Best regards,
Lars.
Hello @MaxFlieger ,
If the changes do not succeed in the next two weeks, keep us posted with a full mail screenshot, if received one.
