Google maps needs Makerspace/Hackerspace category - n8cutler - 01-19-2016

Google Maps doesn't have a category for makerspace/hackerspace. I think this is pretty sad. It was suggested as an issue back in 2011. Here we are in 2016, and we still don't have it. They started looking into it in 2013. Did they see a squirrel? It currently has 12 stars. The more stars means the more seriously they take it. If you have a free moment, go star this issue to let them know makers still exist and still want to easily be able to find makerspaces. Thanks.

yeah...

you could probably choose between: Adult Education School, Laboratory, Meeting Room, Coworking Space.

Those are most commonly used elsewhere.
