The official blog for Google Maps
Calling all Aussie Mappers! Google Map Maker is now available in Australia
July 31, 2012
G’day mappers — at last it’s time to share the treasures of the Great Southern Land. Today,
Google Map Maker
opens its maps to Australia, so you can add your local knowledge to
Google Maps
for all the world to see.
Help share Australia’s natural gems with tourists and locals alike by
drawing the hiking trails
through the Eucalypt forests of Tasmania or adding all the campsites surrounding Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Then, once you’re ready for some rest and relaxation, why not map the beach resorts of Kangaroo Island, all the best restaurants along the Coral Sea of Queensland, or your favourite billabong for a day of fishing? You can even add your neighbourhood rugby club before heading off to a game.
Once approved your contributions will appear on Google Maps,
Google Earth
and
Google Maps for mobile
, accurately reflecting your real-life neighbourhood. You can even
join with other local mappers
and use your local expertise to review one another’s contributions to the map. To see examples of what people all around the world are adding in Map Maker, you can
watch mapping in real-time
.
Hyams Beach comes alive with Google Map Maker.
Google Map Maker warmly welcomes the people of Australia to the team of citizen cartographers from 200 countries and regions across the globe as they continue to build the world map. To learn more, subscribe to the
Map Maker YouTube Channel
, and get started mapping today!
