Google has provided editing facilities to improve the experience of its maps in more than 80 countries. Now users can work on Maps to add missing roads and remove the wrong name or change the name.
"Add missing roads by drawing lines, quickly rename roads, change road direction, and realign or delete incorrect roads. You can even let us know if a road is closed with details like dates, reasons and directions. To make sure the suggestions and edits are accurate, we’ll vet contributed road updates before publishing them", Google said.
