Google Maps will allow users to add new or missing roads so that the data is always up to date.Google Maps , the world’s most widely used web map service, continues to be updated. In recent months, many functions have arrived, for example, finding the cheapest gasoline or visual indicators of the incidence of coronavirus by area. Now users can collaborate by adding or editing races . The Internet giant seeks community input to help keep data up-to-date.
If you are a Google Maps user, you have probably noticed that the information indicated by the application is not always up to date. This is because many times the changes take time to reach the maps. However, this could change thanks to a new tool that will allow everyone to contribute data in a simple way .
How to add roads in Google Maps
Getting started collaborating with Google Maps is very easy. You just have to enter the web version of the service and click on the side menu to open more options. Then click on ” Edit the map ” and select ” Missing road “. Specify the name of the path and start drawing it. Touch one point on the map and the other to trace.
This new Google Maps tool, which will be implemented in the coming months, will also allow you to change the name of existing roads and their address . And if a route is no longer available, you can also report it. From Google they have indicated that they will review each of the updates before publishing them to make sure they are accurate and thus avoid erroneous data.
There is also the tab «photo updates»

Google Maps will also allow you to share your experience in stores . The Silicon Valley giant wants the value of the reviews not to be lost and for this it has enabled a new section for other types of comments that do not make evaluative sense.
So if you now want to share with the community information about, for example, the layout of the tables in a restaurant, you can do so with a photo and a brief comment in the ” Updates ” section. There you can also see the posts that others have left.
