Today, many beloved features of Google Maps have extended to more people and places around the world, from new Street View imagery of 150 more university campuses worldwide to voice guided, turn-by-turn directions throughout India. In keeping with this Geo momentum, biking directions and Google Map Maker are now available in New Zealand too! These improvements are part of our ongoing effort to build the best map we can -- one that’s comprehensive, accurate and easy for you to use.  

Local cyclists can access biking directions directly on Google Maps and add more bike lanes and trails via Map Maker if their favorite route is missing or they discover a new one. Anyone with an interest in cartography can also use this community mapping tool to make any part of the map of New Zealand more detailed and accurate. Beyond adding bike trails, people can add building shapes, edit road geometries and restrictions, specify building heights and more.
