Recently I received an e-mail from the Google Map Maker Community Team. Because I'm "one of the top mappers in the United States," they offered to send me a free t-shirt, and invited me to the Google Geo User Summit in Mountain View. I had to regretfully decline the offer to attend the summit, but the t-shirt is pretty awesome.

My friends and I were trying to figure out what the map on the front is showing. At first glance, it looks like a map of the world's lights at night, but some major countries, like the US, Canada, UK, France, and Russia are not lit up. So what do the white areas represent? My speculation is that those represent major road systems that Map Maker users have added which were not previously recorded in Google Maps, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know?
