Hello! I'm a new Guide, and recently started a project to accurately map the public beach access points on my local barrier island in North Carolina.
These markers are extremely important in that A) the public must either trespass private property or B) use a public access walkway to access the beach
and C) when you're on the beach, it is nearly impossible to distinguish where a public walkway is if you get disoriented. All homes have identical looking
stairways to the beach. At night, it's unlit and a real challenge.
These walkways have never been mapped on Google. Now, I have begun the process or mapping 100 of these wooden
walkways maintained by three local governments. After successfully mapping and entering 5 of them, Google stopped applying my edits. They would go
to Pending status then Not Applied. This is frustrating because any click on my edits and a street view would reveal the signs at the entry point, and
the walkways themselves. How do I get all of my currently not applied edits approved? And as I said this is a labor of love which thousands of tourists
will benefit from in the long run.

Hello tikimouth,
As of now there is no direct way to make all of your edits successful. This is the game of trust level towards Google Map, gained by you providing correct edits. It isn't mean that you were providing incorrect edits in past. Trust level is not easy to earn but one can lose it fastly. In the sense of google map a correct edit is that which is already submitted/suggested by others. It is not applicable in all cases, sometimes map algorithm decide itself.
