Put yourself on the map

Posted on 09:07 by Unknown
Posted by Jess Lee, Google Maps Product Manager

Who knows your neighborhood better than you? That's why we've been releasing features that let you add your own content to Google Maps. For example, you can use our map-creation tools to make maps of recommended places to visit or leave ratings and reviews for your favorite restaurants. Your maps and reviews will be seen by the millions of people who use Google Maps every day.

Starting today, you can find out more information about the people behind these contributions through their user profile pages. For example, if you stumble upon a cool map of a bike route, you can hover over the creator's nickname and see a snippet of information about them.











If you click on their name, you'll see their profile page, which includes links to all the content that they have authored on Google Maps, including the maps they've created and the reviews they've written. If you liked the bike route you were looking at, chances are they mapped out some other cool bike routes as well.



















To create your own profile, simply sign in to Google Maps and click on the My Profile link in upper right hand corner.

























If we haven't convinced you yet, check out this cool video we put together outlining how to work on your own personal profile today!
