Trying to crowdsource bicycle repair shops on a map. I have made the map in the link editable by all,Just plot the ones you see in your neighbourhood with a marker and save. While you cant edit the embedded image directly, click on the link in the small text below the map. It will open in gmaps which should have the edit option available. there is an edit on the left hand pane (a button) which is to be used and doesnt need google approvers. The edit on the topright menu bar is for editing the generic google maps which needs to go thru google approvers. If you are not signed in you will not see the edit in the left pane and will only see the geneic oogle edit. So sign up with a google id to edit.

Both venu's & deepak's edits are not showing, or is it just me.
one last step missed..
I guess..
When we do the edit and add the new entries on the map..we need to click on 'Done' to save them..this will make them visible to all!
one of my edits is seen.
hi ,
i just checked on Google maps , one of my edits is seen. i.e
Wrong edit!
I think you guys are using the wrong edit, there is an edit on the left hand pane (a button) which is to be used and doesnt need google approvers. The edit on the topright menu bar is for editing the generic google maps which needs to go thru google approvers.
Please use the edit on the left panel for adding your placemarks.
it is already present

i am able locate the same now. sample query
"cycle loc: CBI Rd, Ganga Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka"
The listing provides me the ones were the ones i had intended to add.
Not sure why it was not showing up in the morning.
i guess i got what i missed.
you should see two more from me. let me know if you need me to add the ones which have been published too ?
Added 6 shops on OOR and a few on wind tunnel
All the shops added by me do not have names but have marked their exact location.
These are all small puncture shops
Added a couple in koramangala as well.
These are proper cycle shops that sell cycles but they do some basic repair too.
Is this possible?
I am sure some of us have cycles.. we could go on an early morning cycling ride and note down all the repair shops in that area....
Not sure if this is workable.
Very workable
Not sure if this is workable
Absolutely.
Additionally, can do this during regular office commute also. Lets plot as many as we possibly can.
Problem when you are on the road?
Guide to viewing bicycle repair shops using google maps on your GPS unit.
Click on "save to my maps" that shows up in the top right of the left pane. Then on your Android phone go to Maps->Menu->Layers->More Layers->My Maps, Bicycle repair shops in Bengaluru will show there. Click on it and voila :)
Anybody use an iOS or Symbian phone can post if its any different. Also I dont know how to view this using non google maps GPS s/w.
