Hi all, I have an issue with instagram geolocation missing a correct destination of my cake shop. I've tried adding it by placing note as an anonymous user and then verifying it with my account: opened ticket However, I am not sure what would be my next step, and where I can check whether my shop location has been added properly? I guess that it will directly reflect instagram's geolocation algorithm. Thank you! |

You have essentially marked the note as resolved, but from your question I don't think this is really the case. OpenStreetMap has amenity types for After selecting edit, the two amenity types mentioned above are shown as options if you add a point for your shop at the correct location and search for "cake" in the new panel on the left. Alternately there is a Mapcomplete theme that may be suitable for this, and has an opening hours editor. You will need to authorise it to access your OSM account before you can edit with it. As far as Instagram goes, I have seen previous responses on this site that they don't necessarily take business information from OpenStreetMap even though they use it for their background, so you may have to go through a separate process with them directly. OpenStreetMap is used by a variety of maps and apps, so it may still be a useful place to be listed even if Instagram doesn't import it. From some of the pictures on the wordpress site it might even be

Although Instagram (and Facebook) do display background maps that are derived from OpenStreetMap data, Instagram (and Facebook) seem to use their own "places" data which doesn't get updated in the same way that you have just done with OpenStreetMap's data. If you want Instagram to update your business location, you'll need to talk to them about it. |
Thank you all! I managed to add a location with Mapcomplete theme. We have contacted Instagram even before figuring out that they might be using openstreetmap as their map engine, however no official response from them.
Now, with the cake shop being placed on the map I will contact Instagram again! Thank you very much.
For the avoidance of doubt "the cake shop being placed on the [OpenStreetMap] map" has very little relevance to Instagram/Facebook. Their "places" data is compiled separately from OpenStreetMap.
