How to edit my address on google maps
I have tried this advice
"To add an address to the Map, please enter your address into the search bar of the Map. If your address doesn't show fully, remove any house numbers or apartment numbers and the marker should locate you in the middle of the road.
Click on "Send feedback" in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, or click on the menu (3 horizontal lines top left of screen) and scroll down to "Send feedback".
Click on "Wrong Address" and complete the form (if you have an apartment number, please add it to line 2 of the form, and if your address has 3 lines, you will be given an option to add a third line).
IMPORTANT: Do not abbreviate anything but spell everything out (Street, Road, Boulevard, North, Southeast etc). Google's algorithms will automatically abbreviate map data depending on where it is displayed, but it's essential that the full address be entered without any abbreviations.
Only make an entry on "Street address line 2" if you are entering an apartment or suite number. In all cases uses the format of #3 (for an example of apartment number 3). Do not enter any text such as "Apt" or "Suite" or "Floor" -- as such an address (with text in Line 2) will not parse correctly in Google Search.
Should you be in a country using 3 lines for an address, after entering information in "Street address line 2" an option box will appear ("Add Line") that you may click on for a third address line.
Next move the Map to the exact location of your address. You can change to Satellite view and change the zoom if needed. You need to make sure that the pin is directly over your house.
Click on "Done" when you're happy that the marker is in the correct location.
Finally, click "Send" to submit this to Google Maps"
However after i click send it says "It looks like you haven't entered a street number."
I do not have a street number, only a house name!
