Welcome to the Russian Map Maker community
We are pleased to announce that Map Maker is now working in Russia - an online tool that allows millions of people around the world to contribute to the development and improvement of Google Maps . With it, you can add little-known routes or favorite places, map roads and update existing data on maps. Your changes after moderation will appear on Google Maps , both desktop and mobile , in Google Earth , as well as on other sites through the Google Maps API.
There are many examples of how our Maps are changing before our eyes. For example, it took a little less than 12 hours to reflect on Google Maps the absence of a bridge over the Skagit River , which partially collapsed in the north-west of the United States in May 2013 . This was made possible by simple users who quickly noted the changes on the Maps through the Map Maker service.

A detailed map of Tbilisi appeared on Google Maps in 2011 thanks to the huge contribution of mapper Levan Beruchashvili , who, with the support of the National Civil Registry Agency of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia, for several years contributed roads, streets, houses and other objects to Google Maps.
We are pleased that not only individual users, but sometimes organizations or entire administrative units are involved in improving Google Maps. The government of Andhra Pradesh in India, together with the Ministry of Information Technology, have implemented a project to produce detailed maps of the Varangul district. Mapper volunteers mapped over 1,000 remote villages, 11,000 roads, 16,000 sights and important objects (gas stations, pharmacies, etc.), 400 administrative institutions (hospitals, schools, banks, etc.) and others. objects.
We hope that with the launch of the Map Maker service in Russia, we will soon be able to share with the world the successes of the Russian cartographer community.
For Map Maker features, read our detailed help , watch video tutorials from our playlist on YouTube and join an ever-growing community of people who edit Google Maps . If you have any questions, we are waiting for you on our Russian-language forum about Maps .
