If you search for a business, a landmark, or even a point of interest that doesn't already appear on Google Maps, you can add it for the world to see. Within a few seconds, your addition will be searchable by everyone. Missing your neighborhood soccer field? A favorite monument downtown? A newly opened clothing store? It's your world... you know best what needs to be mapped. Here's how:
