Maps, moving push pin to right place, Please!

Question

Maps, moving push pin to right place, Please!

On the Maps, I have an address "found" wrongly, how do I put the push pin into the right place?

(Using satellite views, I can See the building I want, so how do I fix this on the map and in Contacts for that store?)

Alternately, I can drop a purple pin on it, and then it says 12-242 Wrongplace Avenue. Not keen on attaching this to my Contact info.

Um that is Google's data. Need to tell them. I know they use to have a way on their site to suggest a change.

So how do I move red the pin? Hammer? 😝

Can I change the description for the dropped pin?

The "red" Pin is what Google says the location is. It is not moveable. You need to let Google know. Go to a computer, visit maps.google.com, location the same place you are trying to find. Click the Red marker. Click More. There is a move marker. This lets Google know you feel they are wrong. It may or may not reflect this new location later on, but that is all you can do.

Thanks, will do this in future.

How about a purple pin? Can you drag those too?

You can move a pin that you drop to wherever you want the pin to be placed after it is dropped.
