Starting over the weekend, if you tried to update a Google Maps business listing in the Google Local Business Center, you would get a weird error. We have many reports in the Google Maps forums, many.

The error sometimes looks like this:

System Error

We’re sorry, but we are unable to serve your request at this time. Please try back in a few minutes.

Google Maps Guide Linda replied to many of the threads with the same message, it read:

Hi,

We’re aware of this system error issue and we hope to have this fixed by next week. Please check your account again next week to verify your business listing.

Thanks for your patience.

Best,

The Google Maps threads include these four help threads, but I believe there are many more.
