Hallo @Jalalus as a Roaders (Road Add contribution on map ) you can Join-TRAC.
Thanks.
Hello @Jalalus
So pleased to meet you with so many roads added on Google maps. Congratulations and a great job done.
I have 20,897 roads @PrasadVR has 20.788 roads @JustJake has 20,581 @Lukas_B has 69,018 while @ErmesT has 79,826 while @MarcoDavoli has 100k roads added on Google maps.
We have a nice little community of roaders here on connect. We will be so happy to have you join us.
To answer your question,you’ll need to be granted access into the Road mappers program if you’re interested in it. Its a separate program from roads added on Google maps.
Nevertheless I feel its on hold for now. Therefore there isn’t anyway to join in the Road mapper program.
Like it has been proposed to you already please feel free to join us for our T R A C main season soon
Our main activities starts soon !!!
Happy guiding
Cheers

Hi @Jalalus , and thank you for asking
Regarding Road mapper you can read this post: Frequently Asked Questions: Road Mapper, where you can better understand what is Road Mapper for.
I really loved this program, with which I have added over 10k kilometers of roads so far.
Access to Road Mapper is restricted, and you have to apply to be admitted.
However actually new applications are not accepted
If (when) Google will reopen the applications you will find the link to the form in this post: Join Road Mapper and help people navigate better with Google Maps
The way to add roads in Road Mapper is conceptually very different from what you do with Google Maps:
- Road Mapper is limited to a small number of countries
- Roads are added within quadrants of about 780 meters on each side, preselected by the program
This means that you cannot choose which area of Maps to contribute to, but only which country

For now form mentioned in this post: Join Road Mapper and help people navigate better with Google Maps - Google Maps tips & tricks - Local Guides Connect doesn’t accept new replies. So he can’t apply to Roadmapper program.

As @ErmesT explained, there is currently no way to get access to Roadmapper. We used to have a dedicated board, which was purged with the new Connect platform. As @SholaIB and @ShailendraOjha suggested, you should join the community of ‘Roaders’ adding roads to the live map. Your big contributions will be well recognized.

Congratulations on your 5,000 roads @Jalalus. Unfortunately there is a big difference between Road Mapper and the Google Maps desktop editor, so you cannot truly “integrate” them. Note too that Road Mapper is just for fun and personal satisfaction. It does not add anything to your points and levels as a Local Guide. I do both almost every day, and I enjoy them both.
