Today Google Maps has added data collected from 16 countries through Google Map Maker to Google Map. To celebrate this launch, Google have put together a page full of great maps by our users. Following are the 16 countries that now have data available in Google Maps:
- Bhutan
- Bolivia
- Cambodia
- Dominica
- Dominican Republic
- Guam
- Iceland
- Mauritius
- Paraguay
- Philippines
- Senegal
- Seychelles
- Sri Lanka
- Tajikistan
- Vietnam
- Zimbabwe.
This launch is a testament to the spirit of map makers who have taken it upon themselves to map entire neighbourhoods — and in some cases entire cities and counties. We have observed many users add more than 1,000 edits to maps and a few have even made 10,000. Even in countries where not many have access to high-speed internet, we have found expatriates and caring users living abroad helping map countries they are far away from. Hats off to all you map makers out there!

very good, well done G team
It’s such a shame that large countries from the European Union have no access to use Map Maker and no mapping data what’s so ever. Romania, Ukraine, Serbia.
