How to get Google Maps to take action on report?

1 points by grepped 4y ago ↗ HN

There's a path/road marked on google maps that cuts directly through my private property. It is not an actual road and I have found people trying to drive through it after seeing it on the app. I've made dozens of edit requests over the years to have it removed but google has not taken action or responded. Any tips?

You need to find the original source they are using. Start with checking openstreetmap. If it's there you can edit it yourself (or add a note that it's wrong). Keep in mind that it likely originates from your town/county/state/country surveyors map and you'd need them to correct it in their systems, or it would probably be added again or the modification reverted.
