Google Maps: Report bugs - how it works
If a store is not where Google Maps listed it, you can report the error. In this way you help other users to find the right way. We will show you how to do this here.
Report map errors in Google Maps
- Start Google Maps in your browser.
- Search for the location either using the corresponding function or select it by left-clicking on the map.
- The information about the location is now displayed on the left. Here you can either report an error via "Propose change" or "Add missing location" if no information is available yet.
- For example, you can now suggest an alternative name, changed opening hours or a new location.
- Your error message is sent to Google via "Send".
