Map your world with Google Map Maker 

I kind of figured this service would come around some day. It should prove priceless in areas all over where Google can't really 'know' everything. For example, the small (pop.), rural Japanese city I live in where it's obvious that Google doesn't have a representative mapping out each tiny sushi bar, izakaya/pub/bar&grill, and gift shop. Especially in the more remote locations within this place. (If interested, look up the beautiful city of Shinshiro if you ever make it to Japan.)

This will revolutionize the way we all see the world. Near or Far. Go GOOGLE!!!!

I'm surprised this is getting so many negative comments. Noone is actually making anyone do anything. I for one am glad to have the ability to correct the mapping mistakes I see in my area and get where I'm going the right way!

I hope this comes in the form of a universal app for my phone and tablet. I'm on those so much more than my desktop. Wonderful idea though, can't wait to start editing. :)

I cant seriously believe anyone would doubt the power of Google as a Social Media Network.

Love that tune! Sounds like Sims 3!

Music is by Keith Kenniff if anyone was curious. Called "Education".

Google is taking it to the next level again. This is awesome.

Google keeps putting out interesting new features. This is great because my college town needs some updates that I'm willing to make :)

Amazing plan! Thank you Google. Somebody thinks Google don't update Maps. But now, you can. So do it?!

Really like this feature. Helps to expand Google Maps and it's a fun way too!

Beautifully done again google

this is actually pretty cool

why did you delete this google?

Google usually does a good job of knowing whats next in the tech world and my point is that the Mac will become more popular than the pc.

This is awesome google. Thanks!

I'll glad if google spread this too to all over the world.

Just started mapping my town in better detail, so awesome. I contributed to that. Feels cool.

I love it too. I love all the music that Google uses in their videos

Yes! It's available in France! Thanks Google!!!

Asia countries definitely need this feature ASAP. You won't wanna open the paper-based map everywhere will ya?

Use the Map maker already ,but this new way is FANTASTIC

it's tunisia of all the places in the world they chose it. I'm pretty much honored lol

Incredible! Love Google. No competition.

So Basically your making us do all the hard work ... !!

I went to my first Google Map Maker #mysf this evening. I learned something completely new. I'm diggin' it!

It's a song I (Keith Kenniff) wrote called "Education".

they really need this for indoors

Google has owned RU-vid for a long time...

Google is truly amazing

This is nice. I live in Japan and can map a ton of shit for other lost souls.

Yeah... Drawing the lines and shape

Google is just amazing, getting other people to do their work and they get credit for it so more people do it, it's like modding :')

dear Google, you are awesome. - random droid user.

I would use Google Map Maker if it came out in Australia sooner!

Oh its a great feel, I can make a dot on world map and help somebody to reach his destination

It's available for Malaysia.. Yay!

The one add you didn't skip and watched all the way =D

Great! I've wanted to correct a mistake in the maps for some time now, however the service is not yet available in my region.

i got an idevice but... in this year google made it.. with google+, the google glasses etc google showed they can be better than apple.. i mean.. the design and the ideas are brilliant.. and with this idea google showed, that they can upgrade a very old feature as well..

thanks

klasse das es so einfach geht grus udo.aus köln

Its great to have this account

Crowd sourced maps. This will allow amazing details to be added... and free for Google.

So am i in one of the first viewrs in the world that knows about mapmaker? Oh god thanks

there is nothing like draw a shape on the fall menu as u show here? Just remove the movie if its not the same

Fantastic really good

Wow! Google, you are amazing!

This is pretty cool, but I remember finding a random zig zag on what is supposed to be a straight road once. Although I fixed it, it makes me question how accurate all the things in the map are.

Yay! Google you are finally using google chrome instead of Safari!

I'm surprised this is available in Brazil but not in the UK. As a Brazilian I'm used to the opposite situation.

Google, you're the best.

Thank you!

how does mapping work...have tried adding my location several times in 2015 SMH

that is epic!

Now available in germany, finland and others!

nice♥

I love Google!

I better be paid for this.

Sometimes I play with Google Mapmaker and pretend I'm the supreme overlord of this planet... *sigh*

All changes are peer reviewed. There's a nice layer of moderation to keep everything intact. Don't worry, Google's got your back.

very useful like it

I used it before in Norway, so I guess it's still there.

Tunisia

Very cool! :D Thanks!

I can't make a building. Just haven't this option. Only roads and places. But I can't draw buildings.

Looks like shutter island. :)

there's gonna be a lot of late night friday's drunk mapping areas the shape of intimate body parts.

This is very cool.... but is there a way that we can add our own edits just for ourselves associated with our Google account? Like mapping our contacts, favorite people, favorite places. I know Google Earth does this... but it is not cloud based but only resides on a file on our computer that can't even be moved and pointed to.

Thumbs UP from TUNISIA !!!

ملاحظة 0:44 الجديد دائما موجود بامريكا الشمالية وبعض الدول أوربا الغربية ومن الجهة الاخري استراليا وبعض الجزر يابان لا ننسي جنوب افريقيا ومدغشقر ومن اجل خرائط المتزامن في نفس الوقت

That's Awesome!

Google is using OpenStreetMap idea. Good move Google! But I think most of the active commiters to OpenStreetMap would refuse to participate in this project.

I wish you had an easier way to import GPS tracks and use them with photos and videos and as Google Maps examples for our travel blog.. alas, it's very cumbersome, through Google Earth..

AKA "work for us, for free, help our computers know what you know" business model.

i don't understand

It's Chikly in Tunis.

when it will be available in italy? I'd have right now some works to do...

Công nghệ thông tin cực kì có lợi cho XH, phải bồi dưỡng kiến thức nhanh thôi ko đi chậm thời đại mất.

I still prefer OpenStreetMap. It allows you to edit the whole world, not just some parts like Google.

Great! Finally! Good move, Google, good move.

Google For The Win !

changes are not published automatically. They need to be approved first.

so cool.

Yeah, that's why I said it, so you don't think I have to hide behind a nickname.

Google really is putting the life of human beings in a more easier way....

I find it rather hilarious how it's available in Germany but not the UK.

good idea

Google, you keep pushing this Map Maker, but it's still not available in the UK! I'd like to "map my world" and "share my knowledge" too!

Anyone knows what the music of this video is? It is so uplifting!

Actually pretty decent

nice!!

Pretty much. Users can make edits, and other users will review them. If there is enough positive feedback on an edit, then the changes will be made on Google Maps live (about 10 minute delay). You can add new features (such as small roads or places that aren't mapped) or make changes to existing places like changing the website for a store.

Learn more about Google Map! Good luck my friends! 💚

Google Maps People, when it will be available in Israel? Waze can you help with it.

Wait so does this mean that anyone can just add to Google Maps? Or did I misinterpret it?

Google, what takes you so long to enable this tool in Germany and other European countries?

its not easy as it show, i tried to edit a road with and intersection, you cant move the road cause of the other road and if you select both roads, its does not alow you to edit

I like openstreetmap more, but that's because my changes are directly visible after a short while, in google mapmaker you need to wait for other users to moderate it, for example tunnel closed for 3 days no one came and moderate it. and can edit openstreetmap with app on my phone. I'm editing google maps if roads are closed or if locations are in the wrong place.

I could map....if it was avaible for Brazil.... When will it be avaible again?
