Sometime in April 2011 Google opened up the U.S. map for editing in its Map Maker application, allowing web
developers and any user, for that matter, to add places, edit places, add
roads, and review edits made by others on the Google Map.
Map Maker gives you the
capability to edit Google Maps directly, giving you access to correct errors
you may find, add missing points or places of interest, roads, monuments,
business locations.
Google Map Maker allows you
to add and update geographic information for millions of users to see in both
Google Maps and Google Earth. Once your edits are made and approved you will
provide the world a more accurate view of the locations and points of interest
that are under your appraisal.
Run a search in Google Maps
using your business’s or organization’s address, look at the results to see
where your point of interest or feature shows up, and review the detail that is
displayed. Is the pointer feature accurately positioned, and does the content
detail accurately represent your organization? Does your company or
organization operate on a large campus with many buildings spread over several
acres of land? If so, you can make sure every building has its own detailed
point of interest; and, you can add in roads, paths, and the boundary line of
your site. The added detail will make your Google Map easier and more useful to
customers, employees, and visitors. Updating your business locations with
accurate detail On Google Map Maker will help your customers to find you, and
will give you an edge during map location searches.
