Re: What is the meaning

@Kalamkakan Google Maps sometimes prompts questions about locations to a person who has visited the place or is close to the place.

In this specific example, Google Maps is asking about this particular place/location you are looking at. Whether the place is a private place or not? A private place is like a place only accessible to a specific person or the family. For example a person's home, or a private personal garden etc. It might seem strange that a private place could be in Google Maps, but the truth is, some Maps users unknowingly added their homes or their friend's home into Google Maps and got approved. Doesn't happen often, but it has happened before. That's also why there's a rule about not adding private or personal places into Google Maps.

So, coming back to the question. If you know that this place is a private place, then click "Yes". If this place is a place that many people can get into and visit or should be able to be searched for and accessed to, then say "No". If you are not sure, then click "Not Sure". Don't guess if you are not sure.

Hope this helps.
