Mika78 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Good afternoon. How is it possible that a property listed on one of the most famous and used OTAs is on the Google map in a position totally different from the real location? The name is also almost similar, but not similar to the original. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post treetops Posted January 31 Popular Post Share Posted January 31 If by OTA you refer to an Online Travel Agent then they aren't responsible for Google maps. Anyone can add a place to Google maps and it doesn't have to be checked to a great degree so there's lots of errors. If you name the place you may get more informed responses. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP is talking about the location of a property he saw on the OTA being incorrect on Google maps (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But years ago, for have a location confirmation for let the property listed on the OTA, they send a letter with a confirmation code at the address I gave of my property.

GypsyT Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hotels knowingly cheat. Many hotel close to airports list Google Map location VERY CLOSE to get suckers to book and then find out they are miles away. Booking agents allow this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
