40. FAQs
Q.
Wait.
Anyone
can
change
Google
Maps?
A.
Yes.
Anyone
signed
in
with
a
Google
Account
can
change
the
map.
But
everything
goes
through
review
by
a
team
of
Googlers
and
mappers
with
local
knowledge.
Q.
How
long
does
it
take
for
my
changes
to
show
up
on
Google
Maps?
A.
Once
approved,
it
takes
minutes.
It
may
take
anywhere
from
an
hour
to
a
few
days
to
approve
your
edit,
depending
on
the
complexity
of
it.
Q.
Is
there
a
mobile
version?
A.
No.
There's
no
mobile
version.
But
there
is
an
Android
app,
MyTracks,
that
lets
you
collect
GPS
tracks
and
works
preky
well
with
Map
Maker
Overlays.
Q.
Can
anyone
review?
A.
Yes.
Anyone
can
review,
but
whether
a
change
gets
published
depends
on
how
trusted
the
mapper
and
reviewer(s)
are
and
how
sensi3ve
the
map
data
being
changed
is.
Reviewing
others
changes
will
get
your
changes
reviewed
more
quickly,
too.
