Modify Driving Directions

One of our local lakes when you try to navigate to it Google Maps will lead you to a private residence 10 minutes from the actual access point. Is there any way to correct this?

@ZackC There might be an issue with the location of the lake itself. Can you share the link to the lake?

If your country has MapMaker available, you can also try to edit the pin location yourself.

@iyudhi  When I open the lake in Map Maker it says you can not edit geographical location. Here is the google maps link.

@ZackC The pin is actually in the middle of the lake, so it's a bit weird that when you do navigation, it brought you to a residence 10 mins away from the lake. In this case I suggest you to report feedback then.

You can also bring it up on the Google Maps Help forum, as it has Top Contributors and Experts monitoring the forum

I think i would try placing the pin at the entrance near the road you travel on to get there.  just an unegicated guess on how i would do it.

@HelpfulHands Do to a lake being a geographical locaton you are unable to move the pin.
