Ask Google “Map Maker” to add Saudi Arabia maps

Google added a service called "Map Maker" to help adding streets and locations in their database. This service allows you to add streets, businesses, and more information. Unfortunatly this service only allows editing of the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Grenada, Iceland, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, Pakistan, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Vietnam. No Saudi Arabia even though we have a very limited and outdated road maps of Saudi Arabia as you can see here. This is the current list of editable countries. To help add Saudi Arabia to that list go to the Google Map Maker Google Group and make a post about adding Saudi Arabia to the list. Or just reply to this thread that I started.

That is true, but when you want to view google maps via a mobile device it will not work. First party support is needed.

I wanted to start a whole project on developing Jeddah’s map, only for locations, and then I discovered the fact that it’s not editable! How sad.

Do you have any idea about when will it be editable, if not, where can I know that? I E-mailed Google Map maker groups but I had no feedback.

Thanks for posting this! Knowing that many people insterested into updating our map is a good thing!

Salam
