Google Maps users in the USA, Australia and New Zealand now have the ability to edit specific locations on Google Maps. Software Engineer for Google Maps, Seth LaForge, announced on the Google LatLong blog that the software will now allow users to place markers on the correct location in the event that it had been incorrectly placed to begin with.

“Take your favorite restaurant, for example. Now you can find it on Google Maps and move the marker to its front door. You might just save someone’s date with this information! Fixing markers can be downright addictive. I’ve spent hours using Street View to locate businesses and houses, and then moving their markers.”

To avoid vandalism the software also records the original location marker so that users can compare the two wiki-style and correct incorrect changes. Users require a Google Account to take advantage of the new feature.
