TIL about Google Map Maker. Just corrected a few issues in my neighborhood, they got approved, I wonder when they get into Google Maps. Anyone knows how long it takes? Google's email sent to me just says "Soon you will be able to see your edit live on Google Maps."

From the FAQ: "How does Reviewing work? Why is my edit still pending/not yet live on Maps?" "All new edits need to be reviewed by another mapper. The more you successfully contribute to Map Maker, the more trust you will gain in the system and the easier it will be for you to make and review other changes to the map. If your edit is still pending and not on Google Maps, it has likely not been reviewed yet. You can post the links to the edits you’ve made on the review edit requests forum, so that your fellow mappers can review your map changes, enabling your edit to go live once approved by enough people with enough trust in Map Maker. Learn more about how reviewing and the moderation process works here."

  email #1 "Thank you for helping to improve Google Maps. Once approved, your contribution will appear on Google Maps for everyone to see. Thanks and happy mapping! " email #2 "Congratulations! We have made changes based on your suggestion on Map Maker. Soon you will be able to see your edit live on Google Maps. Thank you for your contribution to Google Map Maker, and happy mapping! " it's got status 'published'. is it pending some another review? I've read the faq and learn more, but still have no clue, the terminology is vague and a post from 2010 on a discussion group says 4-6 months to live.

    From my previous edits, I think it's in the order of weeks.

      Two to three weeks on my unique attempt since I reported it. Maybe because it was a major location, in Westminster there was an Iceland store showing on top of Parliament Square.

The neighborhood I live in exists since 1999, I live there since 2007 and the street name is still missing. I've submitted numerous requests, and none made it through.
