Google Map Maker responds regarding Saudi Arabia's maps

Just thought I would share this email that I got from the Google Team regarding Saudi Arabia on Google Maps.

Hello Khaled,

Thank you for your email and your interest in Map Maker. Currently 57 countries are open for map editing on Map Maker. However, Saudi Arabia is not a part of the countries, for which content can be created or edited on Map Maker. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will make a public announcement when any new country will be open for editing.

Regarding your concern over the error on Google Maps, we appreciate the effort of you escalating this. You may also add the correct information using My Maps. Please visit the link below to know more on this.

If you have additional questions, please visit the Google Map Maker Help Center, where you will find answers to many frequently asked questions about Google Map Maker.

Sincerely,
Tasneem
The Google Team
