Important things to remember while adding/ editing any features

Short URL to this page: http://goo.gl/37HZe

Instead of marking a feature as Generic POI (Point of Interest)/ (Bubble Marker), Please use Polygon to create mark any building with significant area. This will make the feature more informative as to showing the extent of its area and location. Please try viewing your features in "Maps" mode and you will see the importance of marking in polygon. When using 'Hybrid" or "Satellite" view, its but easy to mark building with just bubble, but keep in mind that for navigation purpose, its the "Maps" view that will come in hand. So please try to use polygon tool to the maximum to create nice map of your neighbourhoods, cities, country.

After creating a feature, please put up as much information as you can to enrich the Google Maps. Here are some examples:

Example 1: Road

Example 2: Hospital

Example 3: School

While you are adding or editing any features, if any of the address attributes shown are not correct, please clear it. This is to make sure that any recently edited features will have correct (might be incomplete but not wrong address).

The reason for the mismatch in address attributes for old features or even newly added features is due to the inaccuracy of the political features drawn to mark the District, City, Locality or Sub-Locality.

If you have any reliable source for any type of maps that will help us draw better boundaries for the political features, please share the information, I will provide you with the tools and methods to help you make the tracing boundaries easier.

After your features get approved, please do take your time to check if there are any comments that would help improve the quality of the information you can put to the feature.
