Google Maps builds on the knowledge of its users

27 Oct. 2008 | Author: AWo | german

Google knows that Users know their own areas best of all.  The search engine giant is now allowing users of its German-language Maps site, to edit and append the search results.

The ability to rate entries has been available to registered Google-Account holders, as of June 2007.  Now users have the possibility to change these – such as when address details are incorrect or incomplete, or the markers are incorrectly positioned on the maps.  Indeed an out-of-date result can be completely deleted.  All these functions can be found in the respective Info-Window of each search result page, accessible through a click on the “Bearbeiten” [en=edit] link.  This however can only be done as long as the owner of the undertaking themselves have not ‘claimed’ control over the entry and have verified the information themselves.

If a location is missing, registered users can complete or add to the results. To access this, the user clicks on the link “Add Location to Map”.

These features have been available on other language editions (eg. the USA edition) of Google since March 2008 (see our post).
