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.
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.
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 :)
