How do I add the name of a mountain pass to the map?
Hi,
I'm trying to add the name of a mountain pass to the map. But, there are no categories that fit. I could not even find any categories that define features in nature.
Re: How do I add the name of a mountain pass to the map?
As with adding or modifying just about anything on Google Maps, a suggestion to add a natural feature must be moderated by Google staff and they reserve the right to reject your suggestion without giving a specific reason.
Please note that Google changed the Maps on the web interface recently so that the weblink that was formerly titled Other feedback is now titled Your opinions about Maps.
Hope all is well. To me, categories are very much like keys. If the category is not there, then it is probably (locked) and not available to you or not supposed to be mapped altogether.
The categories used on the map are divided up into many sub-categories. The largest group is commonly referred to as the Establishment group, and it is largely composed of business categories. This is the only group for which Google is currently accepting edits.
You can use the "Your opinions about Maps" function of Feedback to let Google know that you would like to be able to edit the Natural Features section; Google uses such feedback to help them decide future changes to Maps. I will comment, though, that certain categories will never reopen as they have reached a maturity level where Google does not see a net overall benefit when editing is allowed, which basically means that incorrect edits tend to be too frequent. The natural features category group has never been announced to have reached that maturity level, but this might be the case as it has similarities to the announced groups.
