Google location incorrect | is there a form?

Post by afrenchpress
Hello,

I thought I saw a forum post or wiki page that mentioned what to do when Google had the map pin in the wrong location. Unfortunately, I can't find that page again.

It referenced using a form to input this information.

Thank you for any help!

You don't need MapMaker. Just search normally and "Suggest an Edit" in Google Maps (and they actually are reviewing and approving suggestions pretty quickly these days).
Thanks again. I've done this a few times now and received fast response from Google!

I believe you are looking for this

You can also go into Google Maps and for the address/place select the "Suggest an edit" button and then drag it to the correct location. This will have to be reviewed by the Google Maps review team, but it might be easier than using the form.
