When Google Maps first launched, we created this group to give users an
opportunity to discuss all things related to Maps. Now we want to make
your Maps experience even richer. We've reformatted the group to
include three sub-groups: "How do I," "Troubleshooting," and "For
Business Owners." With this change, we hope to offer you answers to
questions we've seen in emails sent to us over the past year about
Google Maps and the Google Local Business Center.

Please note that this group is currently available only through Google
Groups and that the previous content will be available by searching or
browsing our "Past Discussions" section.

If you're interested in reading our help articles for Google Maps,
please check out the Google Maps Help Center at LINK. We strive to keep
this information up-to-date and relevant to current issues associated
with Google Maps. If you can't find your answer there, please post a
question to this group. Users of Maps and Google employees who work on
Maps may post to the group and respond to your question. Any Google
employee who participates in the group will always post with the
nickname "Google Maps Guide."

It probably goes without saying, but we want to reiterate that the
Google Maps group encourages free and open discussion on all aspects of
Google Maps. The one thing that's not welcome is posts unrelated to
this topic, and we reserve the right to delete posts that we consider
inappropriate. In addition, this group explicitly prohibits the
following:

- Posting of commercial advertisements or other promotional material.
- Spamming/excessive multi-posting.
- Chain letters.
- Binary (non-text) postings.
- Forgery of another user's identity.

We welcome your feedback as we implement this new format.
