Hi I want to add "pasaport iskelesi" as a new place to maps but when it comes to clicking the genre there is no available option. I mean the place is a pier but Google maps asks me if this place is a museum, school, restaurant or etc.. I can't add it to the system as "pier" because the system doesn't have that option. So i offered the place as a museum. Actually anyone can find the location on maps as a street but cant add photos and reviews. Need help.

One thing you should definitely not do is is use an incorrect category just to force a place onto the map. Imagine a tourist searches the area for museums and Google Maps then directs them to this pier, it's a bad user experience that erodes trust.
As far as I can tell this place is a working ferry terminal? https://goo.gl/maps/t6HpucVZ2PQ2

Thank you @Pea for the good point of view. Yes this place is a beautiful ferry pier that I use everyday. Users can search and find it on maps but the current problem for the pier is I can't add a review or photo about the place because it is recorded as a street.
It is true that we shouldn't use wrong genre it is better not to add the place but I think Google should solve this problem soon. Or maybe there's a solution I haven't discovered yet.

When you are in the "Choose category" box you can start typing something. I tried typing "ferry" and other options show. In this case, I saw "Ferry service" which could match in your case 😃

The passport pier has been recorded with the definition of "ferry pier" and I do not think any changes need to be made in this regard
