Hello @Mehdihatami Your response was marked as being possible spam by the automated filters, they are not perfect but catch most spam and your post would have been released by a Googler reviewing the filtered posts. I have found it and released it early. The POIs on the map are divided into various sub-groups. There is a group for political features, a group for water features, a group for transit features, a group for natural features, etc.

The biggest group is the one we commonly call the Establishment group. A valley is a natural feature. The base map has requirements as to what can be mapped in order to keep it from being so cluttered that it is slow and unuseful. For the place of worship, I can see that it has a fence, electricity, etc.

Re: Category for Avon and MaryKay. Hi @GaryFunk, It sounds like you are saying that such a business is not allowed on Maps. Per policy, home businesses are permitted on Google Maps. See the below as it relates to home businesses that are valid. Individual or residential-based Home-based businessIndividual practitioner or professional listingRental accommodation with permanent onsite managementPrivate and gated community While these Avon-type business transactions aren't brick-and-mortar based in the conventional sense, they are permitted and are eligible as Service Area Businesses - I am unclear if the places you have isolated are already doing this or not.

Circling back to the categories though, given the info above, its perfectly valid to use a category like "Beauty Supply Store" even though its not a conventional store. Please note: I am unavailable for replies on the weekends. Add category. Dear @harinathan, In most places around the world, DIY stores or Hardware Stores all sell electrics. In your example, the hardware store is the correct category to select. The reason that the more specific electrics store category exists is because there are stores that only sell electrics and not the other hardware. The same can be said for pet stores that sell a variety of animals and related goods, whilst an aquarium shop does not sell dog food. Explanation: The taxonomy in Google Maps, our category tree, is there to clarify to both humans and Google bots what type of place it is. This is important so we can recognize what it is and find what we are looking for.

With regards to your suggested category "Mens & Womans Wear" you are describing (using different language for the same thing) an already existing category for this kind of place: "Clothing Shop". I recently posted suggestions for improvements related to the category User Interface that touch on this problem. I hope this helped. Problem with category in Japan.

Hey guys, i'm a level 5 local guide and currently doing some category corrections in the german google maps version. There are a quite a lot companies that have no category at all or are completly wrong. Like this Nail Boutique "Nagelstudio Nicole Brouwers". Her lastname "Brouwers" is the dutch term for "brewery" but i'm pretty sure she does not belong in this category with her services ;-) I wonder if there is some kind of machine learning approach running in google maps that creates this errors? Anyway I just created myself a list from the currently available preset categories (suggestions) in google maps to make my life easier.

My observations:- There are eight car dealer brand categories that literally have no business in germany (Acura,Buick,Cadillac,GMC,Lincoln,Oldsmobile,Pontiac,Saturn).- BMW is the only brand that has his own branded motorcyle categorie but only in the US? Is this on purpose or is this a bug? --Fabian Local Guide form Bonn@Germany | my website: cyb.de. Solved: Local Guides Connect - Official Category list - Page 2 - Local Guides Connect.

Thanks dear @GusMoreira, OK. I've got it. So some categories aren't available in Iran and users should use another when they're adding by Iran IP address. But who decided about disabling such categories for this or other regions? These categories were accessible from Iran in the past (not only Map Maker but also in Google Maps) and also currently by another IP. Previous categories was really fit to their usage in Iran but current ones (for example "Chemist" instead of "Pharmacy" or "Secondary School" instead of "High School" is not accurate) You know in this way users will do one of these two: 1. 2. I think best way is to make previous categories lists available in all region like Iran.

In fact I think no need to different categories for different regions on the map. Solved: Local Guides Connect - AED Category - Page 2 - Local Guides Connect.
