Keep update Local places when you travelling on the way-For better correct Map Location/Information

My dear Local guide(Friends)- when you travelling on the way just open Maps(Put Location service on mode)-Just check it -is there any Map old information data Correct or Not ? like...

Some old business are Permanently Closed / Phone number changed / Timings changed / Maps are not showing correct location(then do correct it) / Maybe that location developed now well(then just take photos do update) / check is there any peoples pending questions-If you find any unanswered questions-Just do reply it with Correct & Present information about that business/Location. I hope you all are understand my Idea.Thank you my dear friends.

Здравствуйте! Хочу поддержать Вашу идею.И предложить как вариант (возможно правильный)

Если устаревшая информация о каком либо месте или нужно изменить одну деталь в характеристике места то нужно полностью обновить отзыв об этом месте,добавить фото или видео.

Спасибо Вам за актуальную тему (размышляю над этим вопросом)

УДАЧИ ВАМ!

Re: Keep update Local places when you travelling on the way-For better correct Map Location/Informat

You would think for such a big, technologically advanced company like google with eyes everywhere and most people connected on SOME platform that they would stay up to date on those details - nothing irks me more than when I google the hours for a place, drive out there, and they are closed.

 

I'm already frustrated having to drive out there bc for 1 - I have reviewed these things to google multiple times and 2 - in those reviews, I include screen shots of how when you search for you destination the mileage is always less than when I go to hit start. And with finances ALWAYS crushing the general population, sometimes I don't have gas to go double the mileage, or even the time. 3 - Their markers are constantly off; google maps will give you a heads up like "In a quarter mile turn left." Maps' quarter mile and the ACTUAL quarter mile is way off, almost like we are driving in a different country in Km

 

And after reviewing multiple times in the app, why did I have to come here to review again?? Will this ever be and important issue worth fixing to them?
