Google Map Maker is a tool that allows users to edit and improve Google Maps. It launched in 2009 to allow local users to add missing places and update information in a rapidly changing world. While anyone can make edits, all changes are reviewed by other users and Googlers to ensure accuracy before being published. The review process helps ensure the map remains up-to-date and universally useful.

11. Wait, ANYONE can edit Google Maps???
Yes. Anyone signed in with a Google Account can change
the map!
However, everything goes through review by a team of
Googlers and mappers with local knowledge.
The latter is YOU! Yes, anyone can also review edits by
other users as well.

12. What if someone makes a wrong change?
Who reviews those edits?!
Anyone can review. We rely on local user's knowledge to
tell us if this is a correct edit.
Whether a change gets published depends on how trusted
the mapper and reviewer(s) are and how sensitive the
map data being changed is.
Reviewing others changes will get your changes reviewed
more quickly, too.

13. I made some changes, when will they appear?
Your changes need to be reviewed and approved first!
Other users review your edits. Depending on your and
their rapport and trust with Google, the approval process
takes from a few hours to a few days.
Once approved, it takes minutes to appear on the map :)
