Wikimapia - a symbiosis of Wikipedia and Google Maps
On Wikimapia, any visitor can select a site on the world map and edit it, that is, add a text description. For example, you can find your home on a city map and mark it for everyone to see. The Russians have already marked all Moscow with marks.
The creators of Wikimapia made a tool with which, in theory, you can mark all the significant geographical objects in the world. Actually, this is exactly what the official motto of the site sounds like: "WikiMapia".
To add a new object to the map, just click the “Add New” button and specify a place or area. After that, a window will appear in which you can create a text description. Each text field is edited as in Wikipedia . Other site visitors can add something to your records or correct them. As if in a folk encyclopedia, the history of edits is kept here.
