How To Draw Roads That Aren't Visible On Google Maps

While Google Maps is a fantastic tool, it is not without its flaws. New locations and roads are being added on a regular basis, and they are frequently overlooked by the public. You can help Google Maps and the community by manually drawing roads that aren't already there.

Anyone can draw missing roads on the map, just as anyone can add a missing location to the map; however, drawing roads on the map does not guarantee that they will be accepted. Google will review your addition to ensure that it is accurate before making it public. Let's get this party started.

Adding a location to your Windows PC, Mac, or Linux computer can be accomplished through the use of a web browser. In order to get started, go to the Google Maps website.

In the search box, select the hamburger menu icon from the drop-down menu.

Click "Edit the Map" in the sidebar to make changes to the map.

Then select "Add or Repair a Road" from the drop-down menu.

Move the map around with your mouse and then click "Add a Road" when you've found the location you're looking for.

To begin, type in the name of the missing road as well as the type of road.

Then, using the route as a guide, click along the route to create a road map of your choice. Then click "Review & Submit" when you're finished.

If you want to make sure your addition is correct, click "Submit."

That is all there is to it! You shouldn't be surprised if your map addition is rejected by Google because the company is extremely protective of its map data, and with good reason. Do not attempt to expand the number of roads at random.
