Instead, the content is based on my detailed studies of Google Maps as a curious user. My tutorial is not based on inside knowledge from Google. But if you want to be a better Local Guide and master editing information on Google Maps this is for you! It's complicated stuff, so please use Google Maps on a desktop to experiment while a brilliant post on this called Shapes and Places in 2020, and it has helped me understand how the normal pins are different from areas and lines on Google Maps. This tutorial is long and explains quite nerdy details that are not for everyone. Many local guides get upset when they find stuff on Google Maps they can not change because the 'Suggest an Edit'-link is missing. Today is not about the normal pins we deal with every day on Google Maps, but all the other elements on Google Maps that are not normal pins. The first post was How to get Edits and New Places Approved and the 3rd post will probably be named 'Regional Editing Restrictions'. This is the second post in a mini-series on Easing Local Guides' Frustrations.
