The official blog for Google Maps
Add your knowledge to the Poland and Ukraine maps
August 8, 2012
Digital maps reflect our real world. As the places around us evolve and change, so should our maps. With
Google Map Maker
- a product that enables people to add to and update the map for locations around the world - you can help ensure the accuracy of the places you care about most as seen by millions on
Google Maps
. Today, Google Map Maker has become available in
Ukraine
and
Poland
. They join the 200 countries and regions already available, and bring us two steps closer to building the most comprehensive world map possible.
From the peaks of Ukraine’s Hoverla mountains to Poland’s cheerful Baltic coastline, you can now contribute your local knowledge to help create a more complete and accurate map of Europe. Whether you want to add a place, provide details for a driving route, outline a building footprint, or make corrections based on recent changes, you can make sure your community is up to date on Google Maps.
Begin in your neighborhood by
updating the cycling paths
through your local park, or adding recreational sites along the way. Try mapping the local soccer stadium or add details to the architectural or historic destinations throughout your city. Once approved, your contributions will appear on Google Maps,
Google Earth
and
Google Maps for mobile
within minutes. You can also join with other local mappers to share your regional expertise and review one another’s contributions to the map.
The area around the Olympic Stadium in Wroclaw comes to life in Google Maps.
We welcome both residents and folks who are familiar with Poland and Ukraine to the team of citizen cartographers across the globe who are continuing to build the map of the world. To learn more, subscribe to the
Map Maker YouTube Channel
or watch others

for ideas on the types of details and additions you can make to the map. Happy mapping!
