Google's oldest online tool Map Maker is officially dead

After announcing the news, last year, Google finally buried its Map Maker on March 31st.

For those who are unaware, Map Maker is Google's online tool that allows users to contribute updates to Google Maps. Since 2008, the service has been letting users correct or fill in the missing map content – like place details, roads, business information and more.

"Since 2008, the Google Map Maker community has edited and moderated millions of features to improve the Google Maps experience. To make it easier for all Google Maps users to contribute changes to the map, we've started to graduate functionality from Map Maker to Google Maps on both desktop and mobile," Google said on a support page.

In order to "streamline its efforts and expedite the publication of changes and additions", last year Google announced to shut down Map Maker and integrate it directly into Google Maps.

Google's support page reads that many of the main features of the map maker have already been moved to Local Guides, a program which rewards power users for providing updates to Google Maps. Some of the major editing features seen in Google Maps include options to add a place, edit information, share more details about a place, moderate edits, view the status of your edits and features to edit road segments.

"We'll continue to add new editing features within Google Maps on an ongoing basis," the companyfurther added.
