Hi,
I have noticed there are some villages (or maybe towns) in Google Map
which do not exist in Google Map Maker! Can anyone explain the reason?
If Google is sure about the name and location why don't they appear in
GMM? and if Google is NOT sure about them, why do they appear in
Google Map!?

Hi Ali,
The data that you see on Google Maps is a combination of Map Maker
data and also the data licensed from other 3rd party providers. As the
data from the provider is usually licensed to display only on Google
Maps, we do not show the same on Google Map Maker. Additionally, we
would also like to mention that the data on Google Maps is copyrighted
and should not be used as a reference to mark features on Google Map
Maker.

Regards,
Map Maker Guide.
