As you’ve probably experienced for yourself, Google Maps is the ultimate online guide to finding just about any place that’s on a map, and now you can start adding and sharing your own local flavour.

Using the newly launched Google Map maker you can now overlay your own local knowledge onto Google Maps, such as recommended campsites, good fishing spots, favourite restaurants and maybe even anything you consider a no-go zone.

You can even collaborate with others on a map and then share it with the world.
