Trouble in Editing / suggesting changes to some places

[Fahid]

I have troubles in editing / suggesting wrong location in some places. Few examples given below

1. Azhikode Light House, Azhikode, Kerala, India (https://goo.gl/maps/axVJgy1U3dS2)

Went to see the same 2 weeks before with the guidance from Google maps but fooled as I could find nothing in the destination as marked by Google maps!!! Then went to correct place with the instruction from local people and added the new place as 'The Light House' and photos were added under the same (https://goo.gl/maps/Wm9j1h5BsQF2). However I am not able to change the old place and nor suggest it as duplicate / wrong - seems the edit option is locked. See below picture for details.

2. Kooloth Moidu Memorial Shopping Center (https://goo.gl/maps/KsqhXjX4ZzR2)

As I know this place closely, wanted to add photos including the shopping complex map but the same seems to be locked for editing again. Dont know what is the problem. Editing is not possible and not able to add photos too. (pic given below)

There are many places showing this behavior too.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Fahid

1) Maybe the first position is disappearing, and need some time to be merged as duplicate.

2) Sometimes happen, to geographic entities, there is not so much to do; if it's really useful to have photos, consider creating another POI and request merge as duplicate  ask someone else with higher powers 🙂

Hello,

Please do not create another POI, purposely creating a duplicate is against guidelines and should never be done.

Editing within Maps is only available for a subset of features, specifically the subset commonly know as the Establishment subset, which is mainly comprised of businesses.

@Flash... he's not asking for an edit, he's asking how to add photos....

Hi @Flash,

Thanks for the fast response.

I am sorry to have created a duplicate entry but cant help as many will be wrongly directed to the place. I tried all 'Send Feedback' options and those are either related to fixing road segment or application issues (please see the below pic containing all the options under send feedback). Then decided to make a duplicate entry so that people who search for the same gets both the options and they could choose the correct one from the satellite view (Light house tower can be clearly spotted). I had added this because it may be an important place where people who comes to the nearby beach visit and I do not want them to be completely fooled by Google.

Hi @LucioV,

First is related to a location edit and second is for adding photos.

Thanks & Regards,

@Fahid for the first one you only can try sending feedback. 

If you want to add photos there is way I have in my mind. 

Go to play store by using your android phone. Find Google Map, uninstall updates. Now visit to listing there will be a add photos option.

Hi @deepakjhic,

Photo addition did not work for me either way. It seems locked for me to add the same under the specified location. You can see the only available option for me from the pic I have given above.

Thanks & Regards,
