How to exchange name of places?

There are two Villages (Bhameda and Bhikanpur) nearby village(Noorpur). But their names are exchanged i.e. On maps Bhikanpur is shown as Bhameda and vice-versa. Also, their boundaries are inaccurately defined. How to fix this?

Re: How to exchange name of places?

Hello @tusharc2n,

In order to fix this mix up, I would suggest you send a feedback, reporting the error you found on the map:

  • Open Google Maps and sign in
  • Click on the menu and choose the "Send feedback option" and then select "Edit the map"
  • After you fill in everything as per the instructions click submit. Make sure you do this for both places.

You can check the following article for additional information - Report an error on the map.

Re: How to exchange name of places?

When I click on 'Send Feedback', I am not getting 'Edit the map' option. I am only getting the following options:- 'Missing Place', 'Missing Road', 'Wrong Information' and 'Your opinions about Maps'. In 'Wrong Information' also I am not able to select the name of the whole village(I could only select the places inside the village). So again, how to request name change of a city/village?

This isn't something a Local Guide can do directly @tusharc2n the information is gathered from official sources.

 

You can as @LilyanaZ share an opinion about Maps as perhaps it is a mistake left over from the user contributed Map Maker days.

Re: How to exchange name of places?

So that means there is no way local guides can fix this mixup. 

Is there any other way to fix this i.e. through any official or moderator?
