Google Map Maker was a map editing service launched by Google in June 2008.[2] In geographies where it is hard to find providers of good map data, user contributions were used to increase map quality. Changes to Google Map Maker were intended to appear on Google Maps only after sufficient review by Google moderators. Google Map Maker was used at Google Mapathon events held annually.
In November 2016, Google announced that Google Map Maker would be retired and merged with Google Maps.[3] Google Map Maker was officially shut down on March 31, 2017.[4]
