Using a Desktop Browser
Open http://maps.google.com in your browser. Type or paste the Google Maps URL into your browser's address bar, and press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return on your keyboard.
Click the ☰ button on the top-left. This button is located next to the search bar in the upper-left corner of the page. It will open the menu panel on the left-hand side.
Scroll down and click Send feedback. You can find this option near the bottom of the menu. It will open the feedback options in the upper-left corner of the page. If you're not automatically logged in, click the blue Sign in button on the top-left or top-right, and sign in with your Google account.
Select the blue Your opinions about Maps option. This option is listed next to an envelope icon under the "Send feedback" heading on the top-left. It will open the contact form. Alternatively, you can use one of the other options to use Google Maps' integrated tools to add a Missing Place or Missing road, or report Wrong information on an address.

Click the screenshot area in the pop-up to add a screenshot (optional). This will allow you to draw a yellow area to highlight a portion on the map, and include a highlighted screenshot with your message. If you just want to include a screenshot of your current map screen with no highlights, just make sure the Include screenshot box is Windows Checked checked. If you don't want to include a screenshot, click and uncheck the Windows Unchecked Include screenshot box here.
Click the SEND button. This is a blue button in the lower-right corner of the pop-up. It will send your message to the Google Maps support team.
Using the Mobile App

Tap the ☰ button on the top-left. This button will open the navigation menu on the left-hand side of your screen.
