Share Your April 2026 Road Mapper Highlights— Let’s Celebrate Together

Hello dear Road Mappers :waving_hand:

I’m happy to start this thread to bring together our April 2026 Road Mapper contributions.

:trophy:Please feel free to share your Road Mapper highlights in the comments.

This follows the idea shared by Connect Moderator @SholaIB during the February 2026 meet-up. We discussed the issue of multiple achievement posts and agreed to have one common thread each month to keep everything organized and easy to follow.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: As part of this approach, I’m happy to initiate it this time. I invite you all to share your achievements in the comments of this thread once you receive your monthly update email.

Let’s use this space to:
:backhand_index_pointing_right:Share your April Road Mapper highlights in the comments of this thread
:backhand_index_pointing_right:Exchange ideas and learnings
:backhand_index_pointing_right:Support and motivate each other

The impact we create:
Every road we add helps make Google Maps more accurate and reliable. Better road data means smoother navigation and support for emergency services. These efforts are creating a meaningful impact in places where they are needed most around the world. Every contribution truly makes a difference.

Let’s keep mapping for a better world!

P.S. Normally, we receive the emails during the first week of the month (on different dates for different people). I started this thread on the 1st so that whoever receives the email first can share their highlights here in the comments.

Hi Captain @SholaIB, I also haven’t received the achievement email yet. I started this thread so that whoever receives it first can share their highlights here.

Hi @PrasadVR dada.
Here is my impact on road mapping for April 2026.

From time to time I add roads in Ethiopia. my problem is most of the roads in this country are walking trail but we only have local roads option.

In other words I am creating problem as most of the roads cars can’t go throgh them!

What do you think?

Regards,

Hi @Roman_Ahmmed dada, thank you so much. Looking forward to seeing your April 2026 Road Mapper highlights once you receive the email.

Thank you so much for your kind words, @TravellerG ji :folded_hands:

Hi @khmansour1, thank you for the comment. I’d like to share my experience. In Road Mapper, we don’t have an option to select a road type. We mainly rely on the satellite image. I draw roads that look generally usable for common transport and accessible to most vehicles. I avoid drawing roads that appear to be pedestrian, bicycle-only paths, walkways.

This is a good idea @PrasadVR I will do the same for June as I am semi/officially starting the June Highlights.

@PrasadVR @SholaIB It’s the 6th day of May and I haven’t received the email for April yet. This is highly unusual. I also note that as I do my daily contributions, none of my places are starting at zero. The previous round of drawing in the 10 countries remains unjudged by the team, and is listed as Pending. Therefore our % of accuracy will look low if it is indeed published now.

@tony_b, I received approvals up to 26th April. It is noticed that the situation is like this for many months. We receive an email after the evaluation of all our contributions for that month, and I believe the percentage shown is for the whole month.

@tony_b @PrasadVR @Kumaarsantosh etc.

It’s quite unusual but maybe it happens. Imagine no achievement stats it’s 7th of May!!!

I noticed approvals are pending for maybe 10 days in a row. Well all we can do is wait !!!

Thanks for the observation.

Happy guiding

Cheers

Yes, approval is pending since April 27th and even I have not received the monthly update for April 2026. Thanks for bringing this up @SholaIB.

You are most welcome, my very dear @PrasadVR
