How do I add an entire locality?

Hi folks,

 

The locality where I live in, is not put up on the Map. I'd like to mark an entire area and add that to the map. Is that possible?

 

Actually, this has to be updated in Goa, India. The government of Goa develops certain plots of land and creates a housing colony, as in, they provide roads and water supply for the area and sell the plots to the local public. Now, I don't know the exact demarcation of this plot, however, I can at least mark the areas that I know are part of the housing colony. I want to do this because my home is located near this. And, I'm unable to mark my house because, my home address includes this housing colony. Since my house is not plotted on the map, it gives me the wrong info when it shows driving directions. This is so inconvenient.

Cheers.

@anishtkuriakose Hi

Welcome to Connect & Thanks for Your Post...  

We can't add an entire area Like as Village, Colony or city... 

Only Google can add these... 

But u may send a Feedback Report to Google team to add this area....

Otherwise  u are able to mark your Home On mapes By using Your palace Label... to easily find your Home or Office...

Re: How do I add an entire locality?

Yes.  Google Maps only seems to work well with linear address systems, such as street name and number.

Unfortunately, many places (such as Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and the little place called Japan) use landmark-and-direction systems, such as "two blocks west and one block north of Enel", where "Enel" is the former location of the local telephone office (which has a visible tower).

 

Then there are places like Taos, New Mexico, USA, where individual families assign house numbers -- so they are often not in sequence. This means that nearly every house on some roads has to be individually numbered from the satellite photo (which I have done for my own neighborhood).
