Users can add new roads on Google Maps (Wired)

JAKARTA - Usually the Google team will walk along various streets in big cities to be displayed on Google Maps. They often have to go through cities, villages, and remote places manually to update the data on their digital maps.

Unfortunately, this manual method often does not produce the expected results due to some changes or inaccuracy of road detectors due to missed routes and various other factors.

Instead of having to work twice, Google presents new features that can be accessed by its users. This access allows users to add new road routes or edit them in the Google Maps navigation application.

“We've made this problem easier by giving users access to report road changes with the new immersive edit tool. If you see a missing road at maps.google.com, just click the menu button next to it, then go to "Edit Map", and select "Missing Road". " Said the Google.

"Now the power to map is in your hands!", added Google, quoted from Ubergizmo, Wednesday, March 17.

Google does not carelessly open this access to any user so they can easily tinker with Maps. Google will first check the correctness and accuracy of new roads added by users before they appear in Maps.

On the other hand, the presence of a new feature in the Maps application requires Google to make buses present its platform accurately and in real-time.

It is planned that this new feature will be released by Google in a few months. The news of the emergence of this new feature makes Google Maps a navigation application with the most complete location coverage.
