Google maps are the handy apps for the people to reach to the place they have never been. The app gives driving or walking directions seeing the fastest route possible and being accurate with the traffic density road conditions. To help improve the google maps they have introduced Mapmaker feature which was a standalone application letting anyone update or suggest changes in the google maps.
Google admin team then reviews the suggestions and if found valid they make it public. This was a greater feature and helped google also to make things better. Now they have decided to stop the standalone application and instead the feature will be available as an integration with the existing google maps.
"Starting today, edits made on Google Maps will no longer be available for moderation on Map Maker. This will allow us to streamline our efforts, speeding up the time for an edit to get published."
"This update will enable us to focus on providing the best editing and moderation experience within Google Maps on both desktops and on mobile. We'll continue to roll out new features to make sure you're able to do most of the things you've grown accustomed to doing in Map Maker - like edit roads - leading up to March 2017 and after."
Well the service Map Maker has received few controversies in the past. One of them was being a victim of the spam attack.
