We're now eight steps closer to mapping the world with Google Map Maker!

[Lori Savageau]

 At the heart of Google Map Maker are citizen cartographers helping to build the most accurate maps of their communities - ones that reflect the identity, culture and pride of regions across the globe. Today, Map Maker is expanding to the following countries, enabling people who know and live in these locations to share their local expertise: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland.

From the moment you make your first edit in Map Maker, know that you are joining an ever-growing community of passionate mappers as they make online maps of our world more detailed and useful. Get involved by introducing yourself to fellow mappers or find an event near you: mapyourworldcommunity

We happily welcome mappers in each of these new countries. Google Map Maker is available in more than 190 countries and territories, and as we forge ahead with continued expansion over the coming months, stay tuned for additional country launch announcements! Learn more here: http://goo.gl/w4QKN

Thanks and happy mapping!
