Google Maps is a microcosm of many of the most interesting problems in computer science, with all the scope, scale, and complexity of the real world. Even after 15 years, we’re still excited about building geospatial data solutions that keep up with the real world.
We want to provide our customers with the most accurate and reliable location data and insights to power their businesses, transform operations, and reimagine industries. It’s all made possible by combining machine learning with billions of Street View images, more than 1,000 authoritative data sources, tens of millions of customer and business contributions daily, and information about more than 200 million places worldwide.

Kelton Lynn, Product Director for Google Maps Platform, announces three new tools for customization, showing local context, and building real-world games.
After hearing your input, we're excited to share three new innovations built to help you best serve customers and grow your business.
We heard that understanding what’s around a certain location could help your customers make booking and purchasing decisions. That’s why we launched Local Context – a way to provide richer, more engaging mapping experiences for your customers. Read about Local Context on the blog.
You told us you wanted more customization tools to tailor mapping experiences for specific industries and customer needs. So, we launched a set of new Maps styling features for more options. Read about Maps customization on the blog.
We also got feedback asking for visualization tools to bring data to life in new ways. So, we made our real-world gaming solution available to everyone. Read about our gaming solution on the blog.
Keep customers on your web app and help them confidently make quick purchase decisions with Google's rich, local information.
New customization options make it easy to create the best map for your business.
Now, anyone can create immersive game environments based on real-world buildings, roads, parks, and more.
