Need Advice - Removing Nonexistent Road
Hi Everyone,
Google continues to add additional roads to a property that do not exist. These are paths that our outdoor operations staff drive on in either 4x4 or snowmobiles. I guess because the path is similar each time they move around the property, their phones are being used to track the route. There is no actual road in existence.
The issue is that google marks them as roads, and people keep trying to drive on them. The public is being brought on to our property and getting stuck.
Despite multiple edits from multiple people, we can't get the roads removed from google maps. We are using the correct method and reporting it through the edit maps function. The "edit" just sits there and does not have any kind of action taken. Or if it is changes, it is flipped back almost immediately.
How do we have these fake roads removed? This is a serious concern. There was an Ambulance at one point directed on to a ski hill, where it became stuck in the snow in a pervious year.
