Google Maps, one of the powerful, full featured navigation apps now provide editing of road within the app. Now user can easily edit the road to correct it.
Earlier this week, Google rolled out a new home-screen for Google Map users on Android in India. The company has now added the ability to edit the roads and other places. This feature is available to users of both Android and iOS apps. It is said to replace the Map Maker service that was shut down earlier this week.
You won't be able to see this new feature right away as it is hidden under other options inside the app. Here's how you can access the feature.
Step 1: Inside the Google Maps app, open the overlay sidebar.
Step 2: In the side bar, select the 'Send Feedback' option.
Step 3: In Android app, users will be able to see five options where they can Edit the map, add a 'missing place', report 'missing road', send app feedback and report 'location issues'. In iOS app, users will be able to see three options -- report a 'data problem', add a 'missing place' and send app feedback.
Step 4: On Android, users can select the 'Edit' the map option in order to edit the road name or name of a place. For this they have to simply tap on the particular road, followed by the 'Next' option. In iOS, editing roads is possible under the 'Report a data problem' option. Users can also 'tap' on the wrong place or road followed by 'Next' to edit it.
Step 5: Once the edits have been made, they can be sent to Google. The edits will show up on Google Maps as approved.
