One of Sanibel Islands best kept secrets is a hiking trail that parallels Periwinkle Way just as you enter the island from the bridge and causeway. It had never been mapped in Google Street View so we put on our Trekker backpack and set out to show the world what the Pond Apple Park trail is all about.
Here is the approximate location of the trail in red:
And here is the trail with our contributions:

In August 2018 we traveled to the Wilmington, Delaware waterfront with a goal of blue lining the DuPont Environmental Education Center hiking trail and boardwalk. Here is what Google Maps displayed before our visit:
After hiking all the trails and submitting our images the map was updated and now looks like this:
Success! You can traverse the entire trail here:
Wilmington Brew Works recently opened with a dramatically improved exterior that was not reflected in Google Maps.Here is a picture of the dated Street View image on Google Street View:

The town of Centralia, PA caught fire in 1962 and was subsequently demolished around 1990. Not much was left behind. The highway that ran through town was rerouted and old Route 61 became known as Graffiti Highway. I reviewed Google Street view before visiting and noticed that the images provided were woefully out of date. This iconic attraction deserved an update on Google Maps.
Here is a quick aerial shot to lend some perspective to the project and location:
In less than 24 hours we were able to take Wilmington Artist Dennis Beach from total invisibility in Google Search, Maps, and Street View to a full fledged listing including:
We also updated the Street View since his office was in the back of a industrial park and had never been part of Google Maps.
Our North Wilmington neighborhood is home to Bellevue State Park – a great public resource with several miles of multi-use trials. We decided to update some of these trails for Google Maps and Street View:
