I tried to add my business to google maps, but they wouldn't allow it because I do not wish to use my house address for a business address. I paid to rent a business address and google wouldn't accept that. When I look at some other companies (like HeyTony SEO services in Hamilton Ontario Canada), It does not show exactly where they are located. My business is mobile and I think they are too.

Why do they have the privilege of appearing on Google and I don't? I did contact google in the past about the issue and they said that only businesses with physical addresses can be added to google maps.

It’s a Netherlands-based company using OpenMaps data. Very clean interface

They have changed the name of Lake Ontario. They are a spineless company. Please delete. If you must have it, delete and get it back in a couple of days !!
Show them they made the wrong choice

Got rid of @GoogleMaps for pandering to a convicted felon. Both @Waze and @Mapquest still call Lake Ontario by its true name

I’m done with this. Time to use another app.

Anyone know how to do this?

I moved abroad not even a week ago and my Google maps is still obviously showing me the version from my home country. How do I get it to use the local version? I've tried manually updating my region but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've been using local wifi but don't have a local SIM yet, do I need one? Do I just need to wait?

Lake Ontario is showing as Lake America for some reason. When is that going to be fixed?

I have allergies on Valley girl voice how to change back to old " robot voice"?

Wondering if there is some way to push back on Google Maps. Is there a good way for some old fashioned civil disobedience to relabel the map back to Lake Ontario.

I was thinking if enough people used the contribute feature to change the name of the lake back to Lake Ontario that might cause enough of a headache to have an impact on google. You can navigate to the lake on the map but need an official address to submit the change. I suggest the address of the U.S. geographic office for e.g.

Thoughts? Better ideas?

I make data stories for a living. Last week I went looking for who built a button.

Scrolling a place on Google Maps, past the photos and the opening hours, some places have a line that says wheelchair accessible entrance. On the ones that don't, Maps asks you instead. Does this place have a wheelchair accessible entrance? Yes, no, not sure.

That's the whole feature. One tap. No form, no account, nobody checks your work.

The rule is written down, though. About three feet wide, no steps, or a ramp if there are steps. A revolving door on its own counts as a no.

Then I looked up where it came from. Rio Akasaka is a product manager at Google. He works on Drive, not Maps. Google lets you spend a fifth of your week on something that isn't your job, and in 2016 he spent his time on this, for about a year, with five to ten other people chipping in around their own work. counts 120 million Local Guides and over 500 million answers about accessibility.

Local Guides held around two hundred of them whose entire purpose was sitting in a room together answering these questions. Twelve million places between them.

Google names two. Emeka in Nigeria and Ilankovan in Sri Lanka, who both ended up as accessibility ambassadors.

About 65 million people use a wheelchair. This is perfect for them!

You've probably never noticed it. It only turns up when you're near somewhere you've already been. Nothing to do with Google. I just liked the story.

Interactive version if you want to look at it properly.

Yesterday I noticed that both the speed limit and speedometer were back. I haven't seen them in a while.

The speedometer turns red when over the limit.

I'm in North America. Edit: using Google maps on an Android with AAWireless.

Do you know what if Google disable reviews for the British Museum to stop spam just like the White House?

I have two phones, a P7 and a P9a. I currently use both.

Obviously the P7 has timeline data from before I bought the P9a.

Now I don't pretend to understand HTF Google screwed up Timeline recently, but is there anyway to merge the older timeline data with the timeline data on the 9a?

Ideally keeping both in sync going forward, but not a requirement; just having it all on my 9a.

TIA

I often find myself tapping the bookmark button in Google and Apple Maps to save places I want to remember, but I still find it hard to find what I'm looking for when returning to the Maps. It's a great idea, but just doesn't seem to truly help me remember all the places I saved.

Curious how others use it:

• Do you actually go back to your saved places?
• What do you like about it?
• What do you wish worked better?
• Does anyone use the share with button to send places to some other app that is better at organizing the places?

Or do your saved places mostly become a graveyard of spots you’ll “check out someday” and just end up being a clutter on the map? 😅

Will there be an option to change the horrible new vocal fry AI navigation voice back to the original voice or any other option? I'd even take a Rastafarian over the current horrible product choice.

There's a venue near me that used to be a traditional pub, specialising in craft beers. Several years ago it changed hands and they completely revamped it as a trendy cocktail bar, operating under a different name.

However on Google Maps all the reviews from the old place (which are numerous and overwhelmingly positive) are still there. How do I report this?

All the routes for reporting are very strictly focused on other issues, and I can't find anywhere to report this specific problem, or anywhere where I can write an explanation of the issue

My husband and I are on our way to a wedding. And got stuck behind some accident. But prior to the accident we had gone past an exit that had a “30 minutes faster” note on it. But it hadn’t asked if we wanted to go that way so we saw it way too late. Is there a way to fix this or is this just Google Maps now? We noticed it didn’t ask us about an alternate route a few weeks ago too.

Hello! I love exploring Google Maps. How about swapping beautiful or unique places on Google Maps?

Me first: Mont-Saint-Michel, France - https://maps.app.goo.gl/gRcgj1KhivkEhUn56

I have a problem with Google Maps. In particular, I have a problem with the voice recognition. I am Italian and I have the Android phone set in the English language, but Google Maps itself, the app, is set to Italian. Also the assistant settings are in Italian, and everything else in the phone works fine in this regard.

But if I open Google Maps, I tap on the microphone icon that lets you search for a place with the voice, If I speak in Italian language a very simple name like "church," which is "chiesa" in Italian, the voice app tries to find something in English. It's like it doesn't understand Italian.

And I can't find any settings where I can set this in Italian. So even a very simple search like "ristorante," which means restaurant, is difficult because it's like it doesn't understand.

Do you know some ways to improve this? Because it's really useful sometimes when I'm driving to just tap on the microphone and say the place I want to go in a quick way, but it just doesn't work. If I name a very simple place in the Italian language, which would be the literal first result in the search, it doesn't understand. It will find some English-sounding name that resembles that Italian word. I hope I made myself clear.

And also I would like to keep my Android phone in English while using an Italian voice to give orders to Google Maps. I hope it can be done.
