Re: I can't find pharmacy category

Category names will depend on the country you are in and the language you have set on your Google Maps.

 

For example, "Pharmacy" may appear as "Drug Store" or appear as "Chemist".

Re: I can't find pharmacy category

@AbdullazizA Have you tried related categories? Like Drug Store?

Re: I can't find pharmacy category

Hi any update to the above "pharmacy" problem. I can see a lot of pharmacy entries in my area(Pondicherry, India), but i am not able to add pharmacy myself, when i added a new pharmacy.  As a temporary measure i'm adding "Medical Supply Store" , but the icon looks more like a shop than a pharmacy (medical).

Please help.

Re: I can't find pharmacy category

After going through this mapmarker forum post, i have used Chemist instead of Pharmacy and it works. But Pharmacy is the common term used in our Country(India). 

 

Hope google maps automatically shows them Pharmacy for Indian users. Thanks

Re: I can't find pharmacy category

Same here in Algeria, when i view existing pharmacies, it says "Pharmacy" in category but can't find "Pharmacy" neither "Drug Store", in category when adding missing place. 

May be @TraciC can give us some clues.

Re: I can't find pharmacy category

I ran into this in USA. I couldn't add a pharmacy. I tried the UK's chemist but that would confuse Americans. I don't know why I didn't try "apothecary".
