Google has created Google Map Maker, a wiki style map that allows users to contribute to their maps by adding new roads, buildings, landmarks etc. Map editing is only available for a a small number of countries throughou t the world, such as Bermuda,Cayman Islands, Iceland, Pakistan and St. Lucia. This trend towards collaborative map making is emerging as a way for "neogeographers", or map makers/geographers who are non-professional, to create maps. Want to contribute, here are a couple collaborative map maing sites.
