Building a more comprehensive, accurate and usable map for local cyclists in Detroit, Michigan is just one part of Map Maker Todd Scott’s mission. From the smallest town to a rapidly evolving city like Detroit, maps reflect the heart of a community. Whether you’re improving directions, adding local businesses or mapping an entire area from scratch, your local expertise will help make life easier for not only you, but all Google Maps users. As Todd says, “It goes beyond map making. It’s a way to take back your neighborhood.” 

You can learn more about Todd's inspiring Map Maker story here: http://goo.gl/y5y8z. How are you helping to map your world? It's time to share your story.
