Hello, I have more of a question than an idea.
A military invasion has begun in my country (I think you are all translating this as Independent Country). I’m not military. I am an ordinary person from the field of science.
There is military action, and I added a lot of shelters in my city that were not there. I have a question, how else can I help as a local expert on the maps of my free country, in the conditions of a military invasion, observing all the rules of local experts.
Thank you for asking, @SmartUkraine , and to think about the safety of people.
I do not think Google Maps will allow changes in Google Maps during this kind of situation (a conflict) because edits can be made to help, but also to add wrong information, so normally everything is locked when this happens.
I have seen some custom maps of shelters already, made with Google My Maps. Made by you?
I think that the best thing to do is to continue to share, and to keep updated, some custom map, made with my maps, because the Map will be immediately updated for everyone, but it will be editable only by the owners or the map.
Hope this will help you to keep the people safe.

Hi @SmartUkraine ,
As @ErmesT and @SholaIB mentioned, your question shows your incredible dedication to your community. You are amazing.
I’m going to move your post to How-tos, since it’s not an idea. Please stay safe.
I have seen reports in the Danish media explaining how Google Maps has stopped the real time traffic congestion reporting and more in Ukraine.
Ruting for peace

i don’t know english sorry if there is any mistake
May I pray to God that the world may be good
Yes, I am. I asked when there was no action yet. These are great solutions.
