You can edit information on Google Maps by suggesting edits for specific places. This allows you to correct details like hours, phone numbers, or other attributes.
Steps to Suggest an Edit on Google Maps
Editing a place's information on Google Maps involves a simple process of suggesting changes. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Open Google Maps: Start by launching the Google Maps application on your device.
- Search for or Select the Place: Find the specific place you want to edit by searching for its name or location, or by selecting it directly on the map.
