How to Reposition a Property Location on Google Maps
If Google Maps incorrectly maps the location of a property, you can manually adjust it by following these steps:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Open Google Maps
Go to google.com/maps. -
Enter the Property Address
Type the address into the search bar and hit Enter. -
Verify the Current Location
Check if the mapped location is correct. If it's incorrect, zoom in or out to locate the correct spot on the map. -
Identify the Correct Location
Navigate to the precise point where the property should be located. For instance, it may be a new development or an unmapped lot. -
Place a Marker at the New Location
Right-click (or left-click, depending on your setup) on the correct location on the map. This will create a gray dot and display the longitude and latitude at the bottom of the screen. -
Copy the Longitude and Latitude
Click the coordinates displayed at the bottom of the screen. This will populate a side panel with detailed location information. -
Generate an Embed Code
Click the Share icon in the side panel.
Select the Embed a Map option.
Copy the HTML embed code provided. -
Use the Embed Code
Paste the embed code into your website or the designated map code field for the property listing. This will override the default location mapped by Google.
