People can add roads, buildings and create “…base maps where there were previously none”. Google’s vision is that by putting these places online “local commerce, tourism and investment” will all benefit.

By a wonderful coincidence, Squid has recently been using Open Streetmap to map Withernsea, a previously-unknown area of East Yorkshire.
