Make road editing possible

Road editing should be possible.

 

It should be possible to edit and add road sections as it was in Google map maker. At the moment it is only possible to this with the feedback Formular. The review process is to long and the quality of maps is getting worther day by day.

on top of "Idea exchange" category on LGC I see graph "How it works" and 3rd point is "Popular ideas rise to the top".

 

Why this idea doesn't rise up?

Why it is so hard to find it? (only link works)

Doesn't 75 votes and 40 comments make it popular?

I simply don't understand how it works...

Thank you for your idea, @DanielSt! We need more information to better understand what you’re suggesting. Do you think faster edits might make mistakes more often seen?

@IrrPavlova The current tool of "editing" Google Maps is not an true maps editor. It's a "report a problem" tool. We need  true map editor like it was Google Map Maker, like it is possible in Open Street Map or Waze maps editors. In Poland there are opened hundreds of kilometres of new high category roads (express and freeway) every yaer. Current "report a problem" tool doesn't work properly. After closing Google Map Maker currently Google Maps has the worst factor of new roads introduced to maps among all professional maps apps and services in Poland. Please, give us a maps editing tool with fast reviewing path on your side and Google Maps will be at the first place at the "up to date" ranking, not at the last place, as is currently.

@IrrPavlova When I write about road editing tool I think about tool like this  https://youtu.be/TJUElajWP04

See how much simple there was adding new road, describing the shape of the road and adding parameters of the road.

 

How to do it now?

Now we can report only: "Hello, there is new expressway here. I can't draw you the shape of the road, but here are plans: http://budowadrogi.com.pl Yes, you are right: the plans aren't on gevernement site, because governement in Poland doesn't publish maps. The publisher of the plans is builder's office. You can also see this road on WazeMaps (where it was published in hour of opening the road) and OpenStreetMaps and some maps of local Polish map providers..." etc, etc.
Many times the reports are ignored.
Sometimes I give links to GoogleMyMaps drawn by me – the same effect.

Remember, that not only maps are outdated in Poland, but StreetView (2012) ans SatView too.


I know only two methods which works always:

  1. As Google PE I can report it to GPF Community Specialist and after 2-3 weeks the road appears on GMaps
  2. sometimes the press is faster than my report...:

I would like to draw roads like earlier in MapMaker.  I think that it should be simpler to check/review somebody's (LG) drawing, then to look for any resources and to draw it by Google workers who doesn't live here. I believe that new roads will earlier on Google Maps then now.
