Google wants you to map missing roads via Road Mapper globally
Google on Tuesday said it will open access to more contributors to participate in its Road Mapper feature to add missing roads to Google Maps globally.
Since the launch of Road Mapper in 2021, contributors have mapped over 1.5 million km of roads and enabled more than 200 million people to navigate with Google Maps.
“Their contributions have made a real difference in people’s lives worldwide. We’re excited to announce that we’re opening access to more contributors so that we can continue to improve our maps,” the tech giant said in a statement.
Road Mapper is an invite-only platform where people participate in challenges, drawing roads missing from Google Maps. They draw road geometry using satellite images.
