The Google Maps team just announced the addition of a new feature to  
Google Maps: the ability to contribute to and edit maps through Google  
Map Maker. Users can now edit and moderate various map features,  
including roads, lakes, power lines, and bike trails among others.

While Google already allows users to create and share new map layers  
through 'My Maps', this is the first time it is actively looking for  
help in creating maps (almost) from the ground up.

However, before you get carried away with the hope of wreaking havoc  
upon the maps of the world, editing is currently only available for a  
very select group of countries. These include Cyprus, Iceland,  
Pakistan, Vietnam, as well as the Caribbean nations of Antigua &  
Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman  
Islands, Grenada, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, St. Kitts & Nevis,  
St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago.
