Re: Google Maps add missing place error message: What you entered is not valid

Hello @Komurtaza ,

Welcome to Connect!

 

Could you please provide some screenshots which could help us understand the issue?

 

Please keep in mind there are certain items on Google Maps that you cannot edit and these include landmarks, established points-of-interests or even the names of a city/town - Only Google can edit these although you can always send feedback and suggest your changes through Google maps. To send feedback you can follow these steps below:

 

  • Find the location in question on the map.
  • Click the hamburger icon ☰
  • Click Send feedback => Choose your relevant feedback

 

If you are looking to add or edit the name of a place though (like a business), you can do that by following the steps outlined here.


If you are looking to report an error on the map - please review the instructions in the Help Center here.

 

P.S. I will move your post to How-tos as it fits better there.

Hi @Komurtaza, it may have something to do with a known issue. See this post

I'm a New Zealander (Kiwi) and currently live in Tauranga. I've previously lived in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Czech Republic, and England, for a 15 year period. I've travelled to 6 continents and been to 57 countries.
