The official blog for Google Maps
Meet the Map Maker Advocates
March 29, 2011
Today, we’re proud to introduce you to our
Google Map Maker Advocates
! Google Map Maker is an online tool that enables individuals to add detailed information to the maps of
many countries and regions
for everyone to view and use in Google Maps. Having a healthy community of people contributing their local knowledge to the maps is essential, and these nearly 50 mappers representing regions from around the world have earned the status of “Map Maker Advocate” for the year 2011. They’ve made an
impressive number
of contributions to the map, as well as demonstrated community leadership by organizing
mapping events
and actively participating on our
Map Your World
discussion forums throughout the past year.
Map Maker Advocates Zohir (Morocco), Momodou (West Africa), and Jabran (Pakistan)
at the
Africa Super Mappers Conference
As part of this year-long volunteer opportunity, Map Maker Advocates will be heavily involved in Map Maker events hosted by Google and are also excited to host their own mapping events sponsored by Google. These are the mentors of the Map Maker community, well versed in the technical aspects of the product as well as local experts for their region of the world.
You can discuss mapping with them on our
Map Your World
discussion forums, directly through the
Map Maker Advocates
page, or look for their upcoming events on the Map Maker
Community Events calendar
. We encourage you to try out
Google Map Maker
today and thank our Map Maker Advocates for their continued enthusiasm and support of our growing mapping community.
