Google has suspended its Map Maker map editing service following a series of abuses.

Several edits, including an Android mascot that was shown urinating on an Apple logo, have forced the company to withdraw the service whilst they consider how better to protect the service from abuse whilst still allowing users to submit corrections and make edits.

Until the suspension Map Maker relied on trusted reviewers and users to moderate edits and reports but the system has proved inadequate in preventing hacks and prank edits.
