Re: Beach as location

@MorrisG and all,

 

The point @Flashis making here, is that certain existing categories are not available to Local Guides themselves. Instead, places with these non-available but already existing categories can only be added by Google.  You as a Local Guides can report a missing place via the report feedback feature of Maps.

 

At the moment Local Guides can add places of the category subset called "Establishments". These are mostly businesses, the places on Maps one can review.

 

It is therefore that "Beach Resort" (a business) is available to us and Beach (a geographical natural feature) is not!!! So please, do not add a beach by using any available category, including "tourist attraction". Instead, if the beach is missing, report it to Google and wait patiently.

Re: Beach as location

Also, to pile onto what @JeroenM was saying, LG's can also suggest missing roads through the Map.  This is particularly useful for Beaches with beach accesses, because technically the accesses are pedestrian-only roads, and with accurate 'road' names they become helpful delimiters to the beach itself.  It's a little slower approval process, but does work.  I hope this is helpful!  - Michael

What category can we not add? I tried to add beach?

What category can we not add? or what can we add?  I tried to add beach?  I also see that the beach in my city is a beach resort like hotel and that is wrong. There is no category for beach at all.

Yes now if you Search for COSY BEACH Pattaya it is a Hotel and it also according to Google a Beach but in the hotel Category. So I guess should report that as wrong category?
