Google Map Maker features will officially graduate and be integrated directly into Google Maps in March 2017

Hi @LunchboxLarry. As @Pea said, we are integrating more Map Maker features into Google Maps over the next year+. We hope to launch very basic road segment editing in the next few months, with improvements to the functionality following throughout the year.

We must trust Google. We have no choice.

 

They should provide a way to do (and test) most everything in Google Maps that we can do in Google Map Maker before retiring Google Map Maker but apparently they won't. If they will then they are not telling us that. Therefore it is futile to try to explain that we need Google Maps to be able to do it all before retiring Google Map Maker.

We need to be able to edit road attributes such as priority in Australia, ever since Map Maker was turned off in Australia the quality of the maps has deteriorated significantly and Google should be embarrassed at its heavy handedness. I have stopped using Google Maps until we are allowed to edit these attributes again. So very basic edit is not good enough, its pathetic just like the program.
