People don't realize how magical google map is. It would be the first software I would pay for if it were being sold. But alas, it is free, for a small compromise of privacy. I have worked in Saudi Arabia for more than 10 years and at the time that there was no smartphones, all we could do was ask strangers for direction. Being an introvert, asking people was one of my most dreaded things to do. Fast forward around 2012 and I didn't have to ask strangers anymore even if I was in the middle of the desert.

I have willingly allowed location access to the app for the last 2 or so years, so they know roughly where I've been in all of that time since. Why do I do this? I like being able to see where I've been in my adventures and travelling. I won't say that Google probably doesn't use this data against me, but tech giants are gathering this data anyways through other sources, so I'm okay with sharing it firsthand.

It's rather disingenuous of Google to downplay (to the point of not mentioning it) just how much of the Google Maps base layer is made up of contributions from individual people. In this article it is suggested that the base layer map, i.e. the map composed of lines and polygons denoting roads, buildings, land uses, etc to which everything else 'snaps', is generated from the measuring and comparing of what can be seen in the satellite photography and extrapolated via photogrammetry. This is not the case. Every line on Google Maps has been drawn by hand, and almost every person who drew those lines is not an employee of Google. This was originally done via the Google Map Maker Program which was abruptly closed down after a tiny handful of participants 'sabotaged' the map in some mildly humorous ways. That program gave authorised participants full access to edit the base layer map but since it's closure the only way to edit the map is via the 'report a problem' feature which is, whilst being extremely limited in its functionality, is at least available to anyone and everyone. My personal contribution, albeit small in terms of the global scale of the mapping exercise, was to effectively build the map of Scotland's major cities (except Dundee which I never got the time to get to before Map Maker's closure). When I started it the map of the largest city in Scotland was unusable for navigation with entire districts being without mapped roads, often even when there were roads they had no names or numbering, major motorways were missing or had on/off ramps missing, and Street View coverage was resultantly poor. The map of Scotland, and indeed anywhere you look on Google Maps, is a result of individual people drawing it, not some magical algorithm that makes it all happen. The Google guy in the vids commute is only possible via Google Maps because someone else drew it for free. It would have been nice for him to acknowledge that. Anyway, should you like to test out what I've said go on to Google Maps and find a place that has good Street View coverage, now look for a part of the map that hasn't mapped existing public roads (the roads might have been built or reconfigured since the last mapper who looked here). Now drop a pin on that unmapped public road and report a data problem, follow the steps to suggest a missing road, draw the missing road in the screen provided, submit the edit, and wait for approval. If approved you will now see Street View data 'snap' to that road thus demonstrating that without user contributions it doesn't matter how much other data Google has - they can't utilise it if you haven't drawn the map for them.

While I don’t doubt your contribution to the maps, you’re over exaggerating the proportion of data/effort that made Google Maps what it is today. Just because Google Maps in early 2000s didn’t expand to Scotland doesn’t mean they weren’t working on algorithms to increase the scalability of the mapping services. If individual contributions are such a big part of it, then why haven’t we seen an open source global mapping services with similar functions? Just because you don’t understand the operations happening in the background and can only see from your own perspective, doesn’t mean your own perspective is true.

Even today I am participating in a project Google emailed me (as a former participant and Regional Lead in the Map Maker Program) and specifically asked me to take part in, this project is to map several developing nations across the globe where Google Maps base layer map doesn't exist. I and all the other participants are the ones physically drawing the map. The roads I add via the specific web-based map editing program I have access to as an invitied contributor are what appears today on Google Maps. If the roads I have drawn, and continue to draw, went unmapped then the road name can't be assigned meaning addresses cannot not listed meaning individual business and organisation listings can't be added and Street View data can't be added because there is nothing on the map for all that data to be assigned to.

It's really good in most places I've travelled to, but they really need to try harder in Paris.... Just too many businesses either closed showing as open, or wrongly located, plus underground trains that are not in operation, shown as operational, even train station located wrongly... I've even turned to Apple maps because I was so helpless.

I yelled at my screen when I saw that. It's a newer Audi MMI system and the driver opts to use that?? Absolute incompetence.
