anyone can log in using gmail and edit a google map. All it requires is for several people to collaborate your input then google publishes it hence alot of errors. Google maps need to create a conspicuous button for map readers who cant be able to edit the maps to report errors.


Thanks for answer,in this case the road meets the plot jumps and then continues after the plot very unnatural I may say.

The maps have errors that have even resulted in international border disputes. If in doubt buy an official map from department of Land Adjudication and Settlement, Survey of Kenya

Say change or add name of a particular place right?
But l dont thick you can alter a major road or border.what l am trying to say is you can add text only if am not wrong.

But then again, why does the government allow a pre-existing 6 meter road (which has been grabbed and is now 3.5 meters) to lead to a 9 meter road?...good riddance to Nyamweya...was very frustrating. Who

if the owners have a valid title and approved plans for the construction, Govt can only invoke Compusory Land Aquisition act and use our tax payer money to compensate the legal owners.
