How do I "add a missing place" in Google Maps when it does NOT have a URL? It is a public tourist attraction, but it is not owned by any one and so it does not have a URL. Google Maps does not allow me to Add this place without a URL. Thanks.
Hi Philip, The attraction is a street famous for its street food in Ahmedabad, India - at https://goo.gl/C2o2nR . In this map, it is the diagonal street "NCC Rd". Every night a whole bunch of portable street vendors come here to sell popular western Indian foods. Since it is sanctioned by the municipal corporation of the city, it is all legal, but it does not exist as a separate legal entity and has no URL. I am not affiliated, but just an aficionado! Thanks!
Hi PhilipF, (1) it has a popular name (2) it is always at this place - in fact, the name includes the name of the area and (3) people would search for it using that name. So yes, it is not physically embedded in a location, but it is a location in popular thought. It is similar to a popular farmer's market in Paris, for example. It would be nice if Maps allowed you to search for its location..
In Chrome on a Macbook Pro, I am navigating to the location, clicking on the Menu icon, clicking on "Add a missing place" which gives me a "Add a place" dialog box. I fill in Name, Address, Category (Restaurant is the closest I can get). I leave Phone Number, and Wesbite URL, and Hours fields unfilled. At this point, clicking on Submit gives me "Enter a valid website address" response in red and does not finish the submit.
I noticed there is another Place nearby at https://goo.gl/6EXTDu that is also a similar attraction without a website. So you are right that website does not seem to be a requirement. I just don't know what mistake I am making (my first time). Thanks!
