How to change your location on google maps

Change your location on google maps very easily on your phone or laptop and other tools. Google Maps uses detailed maps and stitched-together satellite imagery to display houses, streets, and landmarks. Usually, this framework works well, but occasionally a structure may be in the wrong location or missing entirely, or an address may be listed incorrectly
