How to Add Roads on Google Maps: Helpful Topics not only for Beginners

[PrasadVR]

Many Local Guides want to add roads to Google Maps but don’t know how to begin.
I’ve gathered some helpful posts from Connect that show new Local Guides how to start adding roads, even if they have no experience. This list also includes some posts I created about adding roads.

You don’t need to read every single post before you start drawing roads. Feel free to pick and choose the topics that interest you most, and you can always read more gradually as you go.

I hope this makes it easier for you to find the information you need! I’ll keep updating this list, so check back for more helpful resources.
