Re: How to add intersection name on map

Intersection naming was removed from as it is unnecessary.

 

If someone is using Maps to navigate to your house then they will be given the turns step-by-step without need for the intersection to be named.

 

This applies to all landmarks that exist largely for navigation purposes; they too most likely should not be mapped.

The OP isn't asking how to add an intersection but how to name one. You wouldn't normally name an intersection, you would name the roads that feed into it

Re: How to add intersection name on map

I disagree about intersections being deemed unnecessary.  There have been MANY occasions when Google has no PlaceID for a location and latitude and longitude information is insufficient.  Providing PlaceIDs for intersections and enabling the naming of intersections is entirely useful.  For instance a piece of street art has no identifying PlaceID or marker, but it is at the corner of an intersection.  That intersection is notably the Place.   Likewise, farmers markets that occur only certain days of the week and rotate but do not have permanent Places are easily identified at or between street intersections.  I think identifying intersections is essential and notably intuitive to how some people use maps.  

 

As for naming an intersection, I have not done so.  But you can search for intersections.  For instance:

 

intersection: hollywood and la brea

 

this returns - 

Hollywood Blvd & N La Brea Ave

Los Angeles, CA 90046

In those cases the art or the farmer's market is what should be mapped.

Re: How to add intersection name on map

What about a notable intersection - where something happened or where there is a piece of art that ISN'T connected / associated with the building nearest it?

 

In New York, there are several such cross roads.

 

Can they be added in any way?

Google's MyMaps product would be useful for displaying map content that is not allowed according to Google's rules for content on Google Maps

I don't understand what you are saying.

 

Is there a different tool you are referring to?  One that will post to the general public?

 

Mymaps is for me, or me to share...right?
