Until now, Google Maps users have been able to report a missing road by dropping a pin on the map where it should be, then submitting that information to Google. But the new tool will let you edit roads directly, drawing the path they should take and changing their name or other details.
The ability to edit or add roads is rolling out now on the desktop version of Google Maps, so it'll work whether you're using a MacBook, Windows 10 PC or Chromebook.
Google says it will be available "over the coming months" in the more than 80 countries that can already report missing roads. But it doesn't appear to have reached the UK yet — we still just have the option to report a missing road, but not to draw it in.
To get started, fire up Google Maps on your desktop or laptop.
Click the menu on the right-hand side, then scroll down and select "Edit the map." Next, select "Missing Road."
You'll now be able add missing roads or change the route a road follows by drawing lines with the cursor.
