Map correction
OpenStreetMap
Add or correct a public business feature in a community map.
Why it matters
A missing or misplaced map point can make a storefront harder to locate in apps that use OpenStreetMap. Start here when you can verify the actual location and public entrance.
Step by step
Search the location
Find the street address and look for an existing business feature before adding a point.
Open the map editor
Sign in and choose Edit. Select the existing feature, or add a point at the correct location if there is no feature for the business.
Enter facts you can verify
Use the appropriate category and public details you can confirm. Use your own observations or a permitted source. Keep promotional copy out of the map.
Review and save the change
Check the pin and business name. Add a short comment that explains what you changed and save the edit.
Check the result
Return to OpenStreetMap and inspect the feature. The map is publicly editable, and apps that reuse its data refresh on their own schedules.
