Google Map Maker is now available in Germany, Finland, and the Aland Islands!

For those who unfamiliar, Google Map Maker is a service launched by Google in June 2008. it designed to expand the breadth of the service currently offered by Google Maps. The goal behind the project is to acquire sufficient high-quality mapping data to be published and used on the existing Google Maps service.

 Some contributions have begun to appear on Google Maps, but
Google Map Maker is a separate service from Google Maps, and Maps does not necessarily adopt the changes made to Map Maker and may take a long time to adopt the ones that it does.

With Google Map Maker you can draw features directly onto a map where the borders have already been drawn, and can also add features such as roads, railways, rivers and so on. In addition, users can add specific buildings and services onto the map such as local businesses and services.
