FAQs
Q. Wait. Anyone can change Google Maps?
A. Yes. Anyone signed in with a Google Account can change the map. But
everything goes through review by a team of Googlers and mappers with local
knowledge.
Q. How long does it take for my changes to show up on Google Maps?
A. Once approved, it takes minutes. It may take anywhere from an hour to a few
days to approve your edit, depending on the complexity of it.
Q. Is there a mobile version?
A. No. There's no mobile version. But there is an Android app, MyTracks, that
lets you collect GPS tracks and works pretty well with Map Maker Overlays.
Q. Can anyone review?
A. Yes. Anyone can review, but whether a change gets published depends on
how trusted the mapper and reviewer(s) are and how sensitive the map data
being changed is. Reviewing others changes will get your changes reviewed
more quickly, too.
