Google Maps con funciones de wikipedia cartográfica para permitir a los usuarios añadir y definir sitios de manera colaborativa
En principio limitada a
EEUU, Australia y Nueva Zelanda
Google is getting more comfortable with its inner wiki. It is
now allowing anyone in the U.S., Australia, or New Zealand to
improve Google Maps by editing places
for everyone else to see. So if a restaurant listed on a map of your local
neighborhood has closed or moved, you can correct the map. You can also add your
own places. It was possible previously to edit your own maps, but now Google
Maps will take the edits and let everyone benefit who subsequently looks at it.
Google Maps should get really detailed now. It is not clear, though, how
disputes will be handled.
Just as Wikipedia brought forth a generation of encyclopedists,
Google maps is now creating a whole new class of cartographers. We are all map
makers now.
