YOGYAKARTA - Adding a new location or address on Google Maps can be done using a computer or laptop. This can make it easier for users, especially to enter addresses and other information because they can write using the keyboard.

Google Maps itself has a feature that allows every internet user to add a new address in their application to help other users find addresses easily, including home addresses.

In addition to entering the address directly using the Google Maps application on the cellphone, users can also enter it using a browser application or a browser on a computer or laptop device.

Users can also enter a home address or personal place into Google Maps. You can also enter the addresses of other places such as shops, mosques, restaurants, and so on to make it easier for Google Maps users to find them.

However, if you want to enter a new address that doesn't belong to you such as a neighbor's or relative's shop, the user should get permission first.

If you have permission, below are the steps you can take to add a new address on Google Maps using the browser on your desktop device.
