Google Map Maker
Google has recently released a Map Maker, a program that allows a user to make maps of certain regions around the world – like Jamaica, Iceland, Bahamas, Grenada and more – which can later be edited by everyone (everyone with a Google account, that is).
“Map Maker allows you and your peers to add, edit and moderate most features you see on maps including roads, lakes, parks, points of interest, businesses, cities and localities,†Google writes in their blog post.
The interface of Map Maker is somewhat non-intuitive in parts in my opinion. For example, a button in the explanatory legend looks just as clickable as an actually clickable button. But perhaps Map Maker is not made for everyday casual use in any case, and there’s a help wiki near-by too for users who needs help creating a map in Google Map Maker.
