Update roads in Bosnia and Hercegovina

Hi @GusMoreira,

 

Following up from blog post on Editing Roads in Google Maps, the functionality appears on my desktop and Android app. One issue which comes up from Bosnia and Hercegovina is that map issues cannot be fixed yet in our region.

At the moment we get an error saying "We cannot fix issues in this region yet". Just seeking clarity, what are the blockers in the region which are holding back the feature? Can the users in the region at least submit the issues as certain Maps users get lost in the areas and would love some proper feedback?

 

I found a potential solution, when i open Send feedback in google maps in a region that has it enabled, i get the needed options to report missing road or Edit the map, so tap the the option Edit the map or Report missing road, and then i scroll to my country (Bosnia and Hercegovina that has these options disabled) i can then edit the map and add proper information.

 

Of course this is not the way i should do it, but still when will the Edit road options be enabled in my country?

 

Thanks.

Also interested in this. Why can't we edit the Google Maps in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Here is an answer by Google Moderator @GusMoreira to another post about the lack of a menu item to request road edits:

Is there any chance to add this missing road in Google Maps: https://www.google.ba/maps/@43.7894209,18.1120959,1191m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

The road name is: Vilovačka, and is a 2 way road with speed limit 50 km/h. The Google sattelite image is outdated.

This road is Constructed last Year, and is now very important. It is the road wich leads to https://goo.gl/maps/oL3mQGau9V32

Many people are complaining about the directions, and missing road on Google Maps. 

Many visitors to this place get missdirected with Google Maps Navigation.

 

I had a bad experience using Google Maps, to get to this place, so i had to ask local people to direct me to the right road. 

If you need more information, or GPS traces, let me know.

 

Hope this road will be soon on Google Maps.

Hi AmelA,

 

A lots of roads are missing or are outdated on Google Maps. The problem is because of Google does not allow us to submit the edits. See previous posts, there is a reply from Google, basically they are "working" on allowing us this functionality but it is a shame they don't allow us to edit the map.

Hope it will happen soon.
